Everdon Hall

Everdon Hall is a country house built around 1820, with significant additions and remodelling occurring around 1900. The house is constructed of coursed squared ironstone, with some brick detailing, and has slate roofs, along with stone end, ridge, and internal stacks. It follows a double-depth plan.

The front of the house has a central entrance with a part-glazed door within a tall, eared moulded stone surround. A stone porch features coupled pilasters and pillars of rectangular section, standing on high plinths with incised capitals. The recessed central three-bay section has a red brick facade on an ironstone plinth, topped with a stone-coped parapet. It contains 12-pane sash windows to the ground and first floors, with stone sills and flat-arched heads, and a central 6-pane window with a flat-arched head in the attic storey. Slightly projecting two-bay wings have similar 12-pane sash windows to the ground and first floors, except for a tripartite sash window to the ground floor of the right wing and two 9-pane windows to the attic storey, both with stone sills and moulded stone lintels, likely re-used. The wings are constructed of coursed squared ironstone with quoins reaching the level of the first-floor window heads on the left wing and the ground-floor window head on the right wing, both with stone-coped gables, kneelers at the outer ends, and end stacks with three tall stone stacks on either side. A 20th-century, two-storey brick service wing with a hipped tile roof is located to the left.

The front facing the park has a full-height canted bay window on the left, a central three-bay, full-height shallow segmental bay window, and a slightly set-back gabled wing to the right, with a ground-floor verandah; all dating to around 1900 and constructed of coursed squared ironstone with limestone dressings.

Inside, the hall features an inner screen of unfluted Roman Doric columns of painted wood, with a stone cantilever staircase rising behind in a confined well. The house contains fine Edwardian interiors in a rich Georgian style, including a Billiard Room, and a Regency-style Drawing Room. The Oak Room upstairs has fielded panelling and a fitted cupboard with shaped shelves, which is believed to be panelling originally from an earlier house on the site.

Everdon Hall was built after 1800 for General Doveton, and may incorporate parts of the original farmhouse that stood on the location.
