Snape Hull House With Attached Crinkle-Crankle Wall

A large house with a crinkle-crankle wall, dating back to the 17th or 18th century, with extensions and alterations around 1820 and later additions in the late 19th century. The house is constructed of white brick with stone dressings, along with some roughcast timber frame and red brick to the rear. The roofs are steeply pitched, covered with plain tiles and black glazed pantiles to the rear.

The house has an L-shaped front block connected to an earlier, L-shaped service block at the rear, forming a half-H shape. The front has two main stories, raised to three stories in the centre, with a five-bay facade. The central entrance is within a later 19th-century closed Tuscan porch featuring a six-panelled door, engaged columns, outer pilasters and a decorative blocking course. Single-pane sash windows are fitted with gauged brick flat arches. A dentilled stone cornice sits below an attic with smaller sash windows, topped by a stone cornice and stone parapet. There are two stacks with overhanging caps to the rear between the outer bays, with one located on the returned ridge. A full-height canted bay window is present on the left return, featuring French windows towards the front, tripartite sash windows with cambered heads, and blocked cellar windows to the rear.

The rear of the house incorporates an internal stack, a roughcast two-story canted bay, a small, one-story brick outbuilding, and a bellcote with a lead finial. A red-brick crinkle-crankle wall, approximately 4 metres high with rounded coping, is attached to the rear left. The wall has a lower section with a quadrant curve, an offset plinth, angled coping, and a doorway returning for around 40 metres. It has a shorter section returning for a length of approximately 40 metres.

The right return has some crumbling brickwork, a three-light transomed metal-framed casement, additional lights, and a sash window to the rear. The service block to the rear is timber on the ground floor and brick above, all roughcast, with a central entrance featuring a six-panelled door with a fanlight and bracketed hood. The first floor has metal-framed leaded casements. A hip roof slopes towards the front, and there is an internal white brick stack at the rear gable end, along with a red brick parapet. A further service range is located at a right angle to the main early 19th-century block. The interior was not inspected.
