Description

Haremere Hall is a historic house with a half-hipped plan, primarily dating from the early 17th century, with wings added later in the 17th century. The building has two storeys and features six windows, constructed of ashlar stone. It has a cornice and parapet, with a tiled roof. The windows are casements arranged in two tiers of four lights, supported by stone mullions and transoms. The house has two bays that are not symmetrically placed, each with elaborate shaped gables topped by triangular sections and ball finials, which contain attic windows.

The front of the house features a wide four-centred archway with broad spandrels and an escutcheon keystone, flanked by the dates 1616-1860. This archway leads to a recessed porch that houses a carved door. The north wall displays a massive chimney breast at the centre of the gable end, while the south wall has a gable with a ball finial, three windows, and a modern bay on both finials. The southern half-hipped wing at the back is dated 1682 and has a chimney breast at its east end. The northern wing, also added later, is built of red brick and stone rubble. The area between the wings is known as the Well Court.

Inside, the hall contains a 17th-century staircase, overmantels, and panelling. The house was owned by the Busbridge family in the 17th century, and John Busbridge was shot by Cromwellian soldiers while leaning out of a window. In the early 19th century, it was owned by Sir John Lade, a friend of the Prince Regent.
