Description

Roos Hall is a 16th-century building, originally constructed for Thomas Colby, who died in 1593, which is considered the completion date. The hall has three storeys and an attic, featuring a red brick embattled parapet and crow stepped gables. It is adorned with octagonal buttresses at the corners, topped with moulded brick pinnacles, and has plain tiles on the roof. The brick octagonal chimneys have moulded caps and bases.

The entrance front has three windows with brick mullion transoms and drip moulds. The ground and first floors feature pediments above these windows, which have imitation stone quoins and heads made of cement, with some areas revealing the original treatment. The main entrance door is designed with a four-centred arch in moulded brick, accompanied by a square-headed drip mould.

Inside, the hall boasts an oak staircase with solid oak treads, along with an older staircase leading to the attic. Original panelling and several contemporary stone fireplaces are also present.

Sir John Suckling purchased the hall around 1600, and it has recently returned to the current head of the family, who now resides there.
