Stowlangtoft Hall

Stowlangtoft Hall is a nursing home that was originally built as a large country house in 1859 by H. Hakewill for Fuller Maitland Wilson. It is designed in the Italianate style and constructed from gault brick with limestone dressings. The building features flat roofs behind limestone parapets, with open balustrading in sections that include urn balusters. The internal chimneys are made of gault brick and have moulded limestone cappings.

The north entrance front consists of two tall storeys, with a central block of three windows that are deeply recessed at the first storey, flanked by wings containing two windows each. To the left is an extensive three-storey service range with six windows, followed by a lower two-storey service range. A prominent four-stage Italianate tower is set forward to the left of the main block. The windows are sashes with segmental heads made of gauged brick and large panes.

A central Doric portico porch made of limestone features a pair of columns that support a flat entablature and open balustrading. The entrance doorway has a pair of doors with three fielded panels, topped by a round-arched fanlight. The tower includes a coved niche at its lowest stage and carved coats of arms of the Wilson family on two faces in limestone. The next stage of the tower has an open balustraded balcony with Ionic columns in antis, and the arch above features a tympanum filled with terracotta tiles. The tower is capped with open balustraded parapets above a heavy moulded cornice.

Attached to the east end of the garden elevation is a five-window garden house with a domed glass roof, connected by a loggia. The garden house has small-pane sashes with segmental heads. Inside, the large two-storeyed entrance hall contains a marble fireplace from the early 18th century, which has been reused from another location, possibly from the former Stowlangtoft Hall that was demolished in the early 19th century. The hall also features a plaster ceiling in the French rococo style and another in the Adam manner.
