Kelvedon Hall, Grade I listed house in Kelvedon Hatch, England.
Kelvedon Hall is a Grade I listed house situated in rural Essex, England. The estate features traditionally designed residential buildings, landscaped grounds, and wooded areas, with notable entrance gateways that date from the 1930s.
The estate came into ownership of John Wright in 1538, marking its early modern development. The building underwent substantial reconstruction during the 1700s, reflecting changing architectural tastes of that century.
The hall served as a Red Cross convalescent home during World War II, offering medical care to injured soldiers. This use reflects how the estate played a role in supporting those in need during wartime.
Access to the property is available through Kelvedon Hall Lane with parking provided for visitors. It is worth checking opening times beforehand, as it is a private listed property with restricted access.
The entrance gateways and lodges were constructed in 1937 by Sir Henry Channon during his restoration of the property. These structures stand as reminders of that period's renovation work and frame the approach to the hall distinctly.
