Hill Court Manor, Grade I listed country house in Walford, England
Hill Court Manor features dark brick patterns above the first-floor windows, revealing the original design of this rectangular two-storey structure with a large hipped roof.
Richard Clarke initiated the construction in 1698, but after his death in 1702, his brother Joseph completed the house in 1708 using profits from clover seed trading.
The property represents a period when wealthy merchants invested their commercial success into establishing prominent country estates in rural England during the early 1700s.
The building requires specific permissions for any alterations due to its Grade I listed status, which places it among the top 2.5% of protected structures in England.
During World War II, the manor served as an evacuation site for Felsted School from Essex, housing students from 1940 until March 1945.
