Architectural Heritage

Filby Hall's architectural style reflects the prevailing tastes of its formative periods. The mid-18th century origins showcase Georgian influences, characterised by symmetry, classical proportions, and a sense of order.

The exterior of the hall is constructed of traditional materials such as red brick, with contrasting stone and stucco dressings. The roof is slated and tiled, adding to the building's character. The windows, in most of the rooms are sash windows which contribute to the overall aesthetic and allowed ample natural light into the interior spaces.

Gardens & Grounds

Filby Hall is set within approximately 8.28 acres of private gardens and mature woodland. The walled gardens, date back to the 18th century, are a significant feature. The mature woodland surrounding the hall provides a natural backdrop and enhances the sense of privacy and seclusion. The combination of formal gardens and informal woodland creates a diverse and appealing landscape that complements the architectural character of the hall.

Today, Filby Hall stands at a crossroads, offering a unique opportunity for redevelopment. Its historical significance, architectural merit, and extensive grounds make it a highly desirable property. The hall could be restored to its former glory as a private residence, becoming a cherished family home once again. Alternatively, it could be reimagined for other purposes, such as a boutique hotel, a corporate retreat, or a wedding venue. The potential is vast, subject to planning permission and the vision of its new owners.
