Bragborough Hall

A country house, built circa 1841 for R.H. Lamb, with earlier fabric incorporated. The house has rendered walls and a hipped slate roof, with rendered stacks. The 1840s additions form an L-shape around an earlier house. The main front has two storeys and five bays, with the outer bays slightly projecting. A central porch features two square pillars and two unfluted Greek Doric columns, supporting a moulded stucco parapet. The entrance has a 19th-century half-glazed double door with an overlight. Sash windows with rendered frames are present on both floors, with sash windows containing side lights in moulded stucco frames in the outer bays. Above the porch are three sash windows in arched surrounds.

A section of the earlier house, likely from the 18th century, is located at the rear and has rendered walls and a slate roof. It has two storeys and four bays, with sash windows having rendered surrounds. A doorway in the second bay from the right has a rendered frame, a half-glazed door, and an old timber hood supported by brackets. A side of the 1840s extension, adjoining to the right, has two storeys and two bays, with sash windows in rendered surrounds and a French window in the right bay.

The interior, as noted by Nikolaus Pevsner, features an entrance hall with two Tuscan columns leading to an ante-room with a central open circle and access to the staircase, which has a simple iron balustrade. A fine late 18th-century fireplace, originally from a house in Twickenham, is also present. The building plans, dated 1841, held at the Northampton Record Office, are signed by the builder William Thomson; the architect is not known.
