Description

Bardwell Hall is a 16th-century manor house located on Low Street in Bardwell. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring an irregular shape with two cross-wings at the rear and two single-storey extensions beyond the south gable. The ground storey is constructed of red brick, while the upper storey is timber-framed with brick nogging. The roofs are covered with plain tiles. The main range jetties out, and the house has crow-stepped gables on the north and south sides, adorned with diaper patterns in blue headers. There are several small windows and niches with trefoil moulded brick heads, along with chimney stacks that have truncated barrel shafts.

The house features two two-storey brick porches; one serves as the entry and the other provides access to the stairs, both with early 17th-century attic storeys added in timber and plaster. These porches have ovolo-moulded mullion-and-transom windows made of brick and stucco, topped with triangular pediments. The remaining windows in the main range are mullioned casements. At the south end, there is a random arrangement of Victorian Gothic windows, and this end of the house also contains medieval stone fragments.
