The Hall, Bradford-on-Avon

Similarities of style to Longleat, not far away and built about 30 years earlier, have led to suggestions that Robert Smythson may have been involved in the design.

The terrace has a balustrade with a central staircase, leading to the main doorway of the house, which has a round arch, flanking Tuscan columns, and scroll-work above.

The house stands in grounds of some 3.5 acres (1.4 ha), which were landscaped in the mid-19th century and recorded at Grade II on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens in 1987.

To the west, a path across another lawn leads to a small stone temple, probably 19th-century, having a triangular pediment supported by two Doric columns.

[9] South of the house is a large Grade II* listed balustraded terrace with 18th-century stonework, added to in the 19th century.

[10] In the far south is an octagonal building in rubble stone, from the late 18th century or early 19th; originally a dovecote, it was later an entrance lodge and is now a dwelling.

[11] The eastern parts of the grounds are informal pleasure gardens, with stables (created from a barn by Harold Brakspear in 1901–02)[2] and a paddock;[7] here is another small temple, probably from the 18th century, with four Tuscan columns.
