Hobland Hall, Hobland In 1822 Hobland Hall is described in the London Times as "a well built commodious mansion house, containing, on the ground floor, a large dining room and 2 good parlours, a kitchen, housekeeper’s room, store room, and servants’ hall, laundry, brew-house, and other convenient domestic offices; on the first floor, a handsome drawing room, and several bedchambers and dressing rooms, and on the floor over, 4 good bedrooms; under the ground floor are good arched cellars, and detached from the mansion are a double coachhouse, stabling for several horses, a harness house, and extensive pleasure and kitchen gardens, with hothouses, greenhouse, garden house, &c. A large and modern built farm house, barns, and other farming buildings". By 1961 the Hall had become a farm and Hobland Farmhouse was severely damaged by fire. Reduced to a single storey, the building was converted and for some time housed offices of Birdseye food products before it became vacant. After another fire, perhaps caused by vandalism, the property was sold by auction and the building demolished. However, Hobland Hall/Farmhouse is presently in the process of being rebuilt and it looks as if it will be grander than ever before. This is how it looked in the first stage of rebuilding, in 2006 > <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/263988" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/263988">Link</a>.
