[1] Elizabeth Williamson, in her Leicestershire and Rutland volume in the Buildings of England series, revised and reissued in 2003, suggests that the north front of the hall shows evidence of 16th- and 17th-century work, while the south frontage is more confused, being "obscured" by a classical façade added in the early 18th century, and by a service wing added in the early 20th century.

[a][4][3] In the early 20th century the owner was an E. Guy Fenwick who engaged Sidney Gambier-Parry to construct the service wing.

The roof line is enlivened by multiple gables, dormers and chimney stacks.

[5] The interior retains some 17th-century fittings, including extensive wood panelling.

[2] Marcus Binney, the architectural historian, describes North Luffenham as "grandeur in miniature", noting the pleasing symmetry of the facades and the sympathetic, and costly, restoration undertaken by the building's 21st-century owners.
