East Haddon Hall

East Haddon Hall is a country house built around 1780-1781 for the Sawbridge family, designed by John Johnson of Leicester and constructed by John Wagstaff. The building is made of limestone ashlar and features a lead and slate roof. It has a double pile plan and stands three storeys tall. The south front has a symmetrical five-window range with a central entrance that includes a 19th-century porch. Above the entrance is a tripartite sash window with a blank lunette above, decorated with thin garlands. There is similar panel decoration between the first and second-floor windows, while the other windows are sashes with glazing bars that reduce in size on the second floor. The ground floor is rusticated, and there is a central pediment at the parapet level. The west and north fronts are similar, featuring four and five-window ranges respectively, but without a central pediment. The north elevation includes French doors at ground level. The east front has been modified in the 20th century with the removal of a 19th-century domestic wing.

Inside, there is a double elliptical central staircase with a wrought iron balustrade and plasterwork panelling on the walls. The entrance hall features a Rococo plasterwork ceiling with similar decoration over the fireplace alcove. The dining room on the north front has an Adam style ceiling with matching decoration on the walls and doorcases. The house is set in gardens originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll and Lutyens in 1897, though only fragments of these gardens remain today.
