Hoddington House

Hoddington House is a palatial building dating from the late 17th century, with later additions from the late 19th century. The house features regular elevations on three sides, while the fourth side is concealed by substantial extensions that match the original style. The main front, facing north-east, consists of two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a symmetrical arrangement of windows in a 2.1.2 pattern. It has a hipped tile roof with two flat-roofed dormers that contain sash windows, and a large, fully-moulded modillion cornice with a pediment above the slightly projecting central section.

The brickwork is laid in Flemish bond, combining red bricks with blue headers, and includes red rubbed flat arches with carved stone keystones, stone cills, and a plain stone band at the first floor. The building features a moulded stone step leading to the plinth and chamfered quoins on the sides and central section. The sashes are in exposed frames and include interior folding shutters. The central first-floor window is adorned with an eared architrave and carved swags.

A later projecting brick porch has stone dressings, including cornice, frieze, and plinth mouldings, with the keystone of the doorway architrave displaying the raised letters "SB" and the date "1886." To the east, the late 19th-century wing steps back in three stages, featuring three windows and one large dormer, all echoing the details of the original front. The next section is slightly plainer, with one window above three, followed by a large setback for service entrances.

The symmetrical north-west elevation has five windows, including two dormers, and maintains the same hipped tile roof, cornice, and rubbed flat arches, with French windows on the ground floor. The south side includes a two-bay projecting unit of later date. The south-west elevation has a 2.1.2 window arrangement, with a slightly recessed center that features a tall round-headed staircase window above a round-headed glazed doorway of the same width, along with two dormers in the tile roof. The later wing to the east has four windows above three, styled similarly but at a lesser height. The house is capped with tall stacks from the late period, alongside one old panelled stack above the north-west front.
