Full Description
Snitterton Hall has been described as 'A gem of an Elizabethan house'. (1)
The Hall, an Elizabethan small mansion in pristine condition, is a Grade I listed building of late 16th century date. (2)
Snitterton Hall is a unspoilt 16th century building with later additions on its north front. It is an excellent example of the local architecture for that period and is in a good state of preservation. G.P. AO/62/85/4 and 5 show the south and south east aspects respectively. (3)
The hall has a symmetrical front, embattled and gabled. There are 4- and 6-light mullioned and transomed windows and an asymmetrically placed doorway. There is a small formal garden in the front. The garden wall, with an arched door, was flanked by two pavillions; only the left one remains. The pitch roof was lowered and the interior altered in 1747. There are 18th century rainwater heads.
