The Hoo, Country house in Great Gaddesden, England.

The Hoo features a symmetrical west-facing facade constructed of plum brick with blue headers, red brick dressings, and a steep red tile roof.

Built around 1683 for Dr. Edward Green, The Hoo originally formed the western wing of a half-H plan house that faced south until its partial demolition in 1948.

The property maintains its Grade II* listed status, granted in 1967, marking its position among England's buildings of exceptional architectural and historical value.

The entrance displays a Roman Doric doorcase with a six-panel door, leading to interior spaces that preserve original 17th-century wooden elements and decorative features.

The staircase contains distinctive barley-sugar balusters, while specific rooms showcase intricate reeded molding around ceiling margins, reflecting period craftsmanship.
