Nether Hall

Nether Hall is a large country house, originally a manor house, dating to the late 16th century or around 1600. It was significantly remodelled in the early 18th century, in 1875 for Edward Green MP, and again in 1901 by Philip Webb. The house is constructed of red brick, with the earliest visible brickwork at the rear and in the cross-wings using narrow bricks in English bond. The main gables and hall range were refronted in the early or mid 18th century using narrow bricks in Flemish bond. An extension and bay windows were added in 1875 using larger bricks, with limestone dressings. The cross-wings have parapet gables from the 18th century, topped with moulded brick finials, possibly dating back to the 16th century. The main range has a parapet with a dentil cornice from 1875. The roof is covered in plain tiles, with six substantial internal brick chimneys. Three rear chimneys have shafts from the late 16th/early 17th century, two are likely from the 18th century, and the chimney on the right is from 1875. These chimneys all feature pilasters and heavy oversailing caps in the 17th-century Kentish style, which were probably added in 1875.

The house is two storeys and has attics, with a five-window main range and two forward-projecting cross-wings which incorporate bay windows. All windows on the main elevation date from 1875 and are in a Jacobean style, with moulded mullions, transoms, and frames in freestone, steel casements, and decorative leaded glazing in some upper lights. Each cross-wing has a large, two-storey splayed bay with a curved parapet gable and a ball finial. Crests with a motto are placed above the ground-floor windows of each cross-wing, and shields with the initials 'EWG' (for Edward Greene) are above the upper windows. The central entrance doorway features 18th-century rusticated quoins of gauged gault brick, leading to a 12-panelled door from 1875.

The west elevation includes a probable 17th-century garderobe tower, which was converted into a pair of bay windows in 1875. The north elevation, which now serves as the entrance front since 1875, has brickwork dating back to the late 16th/early 17th century. Philip Webb's 1901 remodelling included three weatherboarded gables with decorative bargeboards, each incorporating a small-pane casement flanked by pilasters. The lower storeys feature small-pane sashes with segmental heads, also by Webb. An entrance porch dating from 1875 has an open archway with shafts, half-capitals, flanking carved floral panels, a deep cornice, and a flat roof, with an added gablet by Webb. The porch has panelled inner walls and a doorway. The interior is believed to have been entirely remodelled in a Jacobean style in 1875, featuring extensive oak panelling and joinery. A rear wing, added in 1901 by Webb, is located in the parish of Pakenham and is listed separately for that parish.
