Lower Carden Hall

Lower Carden Hall is an English country house featuring timber framing with oak frames and plaster infill panels set on a sandstone base with projecting stone and brick chimneys. The structure spans from a 15th-century north wing to a mid-16th-century south cross-wing with later additions.

The north wing dates from the 15th century, with the south cross-wing added in the mid-16th century. The building underwent major restoration in 1984 to reinforce its structure with an inner brick layer and steel bracing.

The interior holds three late-medieval crown-post roof trusses of exceptional craftsmanship. This rare building form reflects the skilled carpentry techniques of its time.

Access is limited as the property remains privately owned and is not regularly open to the public. You can best appreciate the exterior architecture from outside and observe the detailed timber framing and chimney features from different vantage points.

The drawing room displays early 18th-century panelling with fine detail, while the entrance hall features a stone ingle-nook and a 19th-century oak staircase. These details showcase interior furnishings added across different periods.
