Southolt Hall

Southolt Hall is an early 17th-century manor farmhouse. It has a three-cell main range with a service range to the north, creating a T-shaped plan. The building is timber framed and plastered, with some underbuilding in red brick at the service end. The main range has a pantiled front roof and a plaintiled rear roof; the service end has a hipped roof and plaintiles. The building is two storeys high with an attic to the main range, and it has three windows featuring 19th-century casements with small panes. A small, colourwashed brick gabled porch fronts the lobby entrance, with a further doorway to the left having a half-glazed door. There is an internal stack with a plain, oblong shaft.

The interior is largely unaltered since the 19th century, and much of the original structure in the main range remains concealed. On the upper floor, there are axial bridging beams with ogee stop-chamfers, and in two rooms, plain square joists. A newel staircase features a carved finial to the newel post and an original entrance door. The service range has three bays and three cells, with a 19th-century stack. The upper floor shows some plain studding, and one end room has blocked 17th-century full-height windows with moulded square mullions which replaced shallower diamond mullioned windows. Plain joists, set flat, are found on both floors. Both the dairy and scullery have brick floors and unusually complete 19th-century fittings. The roofs incorporate clasped and butt purlins, with the roof over the main range showing trimming for dormers.
