Abstract: |
Hoo Hall lies in open arable countryside immediately north of the isolated church of St Andrew and St Eustachius, and is presumed to be the site of a medieval manor. At the time of the tithe survey in 1846 it formed a substantial tenanted farm of 209 acres, but its ownership had become separated from the lordship. The farmhouse is listed at grade II and contains an early-17th century timber-framed structure of modest proportions in its rear wing and a façade of 19th century white brick. The 19th century barn to the north of the site is also listed, but has been converted for domestic use and, like most of the farm buildings, is now in separate occupation. The most southerly structure of the farm complex is still owned with the hall, which lies 20 metres to its south-east, and forms a pantiled structure of red brick. Dating from circa 1870 it originally contained a granary on its upper storey with a shed that may have operated as a stable beneath. The granary was reached by an internal stair with an external entrance. The building's external appearance has altered very little, but its bins have been removed and, with the exception of one window frame and two sliding window shutters on the upper storey, its internal fixtures and fittings have been lost. Although of some interest as an example of an increasingly uncommon building type, it is not of sufficient age, rarity or architectural merit to justify separate listing. |
