Description
Pettaugh Hall is a former manor house dating from the mid-16th century, with remodelling around 1630 and further changes in the 19th century. The building has a three-cell cross-entry plan and is two storeys high. It features a timber frame with plaster and a plaintiled roof. An axial chimney from around 1630 has a square shaft with a central pilaster, while two 19th-century chimneys on the right have twin square flues and heavy square caps; the 17th-century chimney has also been recapped.
The ground floor has late 19th-century casements with transoms, and the first storey features 18th-century casements. There are two gabled entrance porches from the 17th century, one at the lobby entrance and one at the former cross-entry. Each porch has an early 19th-century six-panelled door, with the upper pair of panels glazed, and a simple pediment above.
Inside, some excellent mid-16th-century framing is visible, including closely spaced studding and broad broach-stopped chamfers on the main beams. The hall fireplace has a lintel with a chamfered arched soffit. Around 1630, a fine plaster ceiling was added to the parlour, featuring moulded ribs that divide the ceiling into panels, with fleurs-de-lys and acorns at the intersections. Several panels are impressed with the initials "F.A.", indicating the Fastolfe family, who were associated with Pettaugh Hall in the early 17th century. A vinescroll frieze forms a cornice, and there is full 17th-century oak wainscotting, with arcading above the fireplace. The chamber above also retains traces of moulded plasterwork.
The service cell to the right was truncated in the 19th century, and alterations were made to the rear, which features painted brickwork. A small wing at the rear of the parlour dates from the 16th or 17th century.
