Sausthorpe Old Hall is built to a H-shaped plan form of 16th century date, and has a later Georgian doorcase and fenestration. Panelling inside has a date carving of 1711, and the Gothic chimneypiece in the hall is thought to have been built in the 19th century utilising pieces of stonework from Hagnaby Priory. {1}{2} The Old Hall was built in the late 15th century and underwent alterations in the 16th and late 18th century. Much of the hall is built of red brick now rendered, though remains of the original timber frame can be seen. It features slate roofs with single ridge stacks to the outer projecting bays. It was probably originally built as a hall house, and is of two storeys with a seven bay front, with the two outer bays on each side projecting and gabled. The central doorway has a panelled door and decorative fanlight, with single reeded pilasters to either side supporting consoles and a later projecting hood further supported on 2 piers. Either side of this are three glazing bar sashes with seven similar sashes above, those to the central three bays of the first floor are under segmental arches. The interior has re-used 17th century panelling to the entrance hall with the scratched date of 1711, and some carved panels and Ionic pilasters. The fireplace has a 16th century bressumer part blocking a former larger brick and stone fireplace. Two further inglenook fireplaces are in the hall and in the music room, the latter with broach stops to chamfered beam. The dog leg staircase has 18th century turned balusters. Some first floor rooms with late 18th fitted grates. Many 17th and 18th century panelled doors, some with butterfly or L-H hinges, one with cock's-head hinges. Three posts visible on the ground floor. First floor room to right of the doorway with several large posts, tie beams and curved braces. Further room with bolection fireplace. Cupboard with fielded panels, fluted pilasters and key block.
