Description
Brandon Hall is a house dating from around 1730, with a core that originates from the late 17th century. The main part of the building features two windows and is recessed between two projecting wings, each also with two windows. It stands two storeys high and is constructed of knapped flint with red brick headers. The building includes red brick quoins, a set-back moulded plinth, and a first-floor string course. The hipped roof, which is slated, was rebuilt in the 19th century after a fire, and there are axial chimneys made of red brick.
The house has 18th-century small-pane sash windows with fielded panelled internal shutters, set within earlier segmental arched openings. The entrance door, also from the 18th century, features two lower panels and a 12-light glazed upper section. A late 17th-century shell canopy is supported by heavily carved and enriched console brackets. The entrance is accessed via semi-circular limestone steps.
Inside, the entrance hall and two front parlours are adorned with complete fielded panelling. The entrance hall includes a segmental-arched and panelled opening leading to the staircase, which has turned balusters, moulded and wreathed handrails, console brackets on the treads, and dado panelling. The rear elevation was remodelled in the mid-18th century, featuring gault brick with red brick dressings, windows with segmental arched heads made of finely gauged brick, and small-pane sashes with arched heads. The rear entrance door resembles the front door and has a flat canopy supported by carved console brackets. To the right of the main house is a mid-19th-century two-storey extension, and to the left is a billiard room extension from around 1900, both constructed with knapped flint walls and red brick quoins. A legal document from 1708 refers to the house as "newly built."
