Description
Chickering Hall is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th to 17th century, with significant alterations made, particularly in the 19th century. The building is timber framed and has 20th-century textured render; the facade and side walls of the wing have been rebuilt in red brick, mostly from the 17th century. The roof is plaintiled, with mid-20th-century concrete tiles at the rear. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and features a long range with a later projecting wing to the right.
The windows are mid-19th-century casements, each with a single horizontal glazing bar, and there are 19th-century brick hood moulds above them. The building has two gabled half-dormers and a 20th-century gabled entrance porch that includes a mid-20th-century inner door. The main range contains two internal stacks placed axially, with groups of two and three square shafts set diamondwise. The wing has a 17th-century external stack with two 19th-century diamond shafts that match the others. The interior has been significantly altered, with only a small amount of visible timber framing. Some reused joists can be found in the attic floors, while the roof is largely from the 19th and 20th centuries. Part of the house is located in Hoxne civil parish.
