Abbas Hall, Grade I listed country house in Great Cornard, England
The timber-framed Abbas Hall features a cross wing at the west end, with exposed internal framework and double-hung sash windows with glazing bars.
The residence dates from 1270-1290 and represents one of only two known examples of aisled hall houses from this period in Suffolk county.
The structure preserves significant medieval architectural elements, including an open truss with arcade posts and moulded capitals that demonstrate period craftsmanship.
The building received Grade I listing status on April 16, 1971, requiring special permissions from local authorities for any modifications or restoration work.
The interior contains a 16th-century fireplace installed during renovations when an upper floor was added to the original medieval hall structure.
