Description
Ampton Hall is a manor house built in 1892 by Balfour & Turner of London, replacing the old Hall that was destroyed by fire in 1885. It is designed in a restrained Jacobean style, possibly inspired by Seckford Hall near Woodbridge. The house is constructed of red brick with plain tiled roofs and consists of two storeys and attics. It features cross-wings to the north and south, along with three intermediate two-storey projections, one of which serves as the main entry. The gables have crow stepping, and there are nine internal chimney-stacks with clustered shafts. The windows are of the five-light mullion-and-transom type on both storeys, with simple two-light casements in the attics, all fitted with leaded panes. The main entry is accentuated by a portico.

Ampton Hall sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 93% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
