Stambourne Hall

Stambourne Hall is a Grade II listed house in Stambourne, Essex.[1]

Historic England states the house dates to the 15th century.[1] It is of five bedrooms in an L shape that were originally two separate houses, both of manorial status but of different types and dates.[1] The houses were later joined and the whole has been substantially altered over the centuries.[2] The site is moated[1] and extends over seven acres.[3] According to the previous owner, a conservation architect, the house was built in 1348, according to a date on the central hearth.[3]

Member of Parliament Henry Macwilliam (c. 1532-86) lived in the house.[4]

In the nineteenth century the house was occupied by the Fry family of chocolate makers.[3]

In July 2015, the house was for sale with an asking price of £1.65

The Hodge family are now the owners (2017)
