Overstrand Hall is a country house in Overstrand, Norfolk, designed by Edwin Lutyens for the 2nd Lord Hillingdon, a partner in Glyn Mills Bank.[1] It was built between 1899 and 1901 and is Grade II listed as of 27 September 1972.[2] Nicholas Pevsner describes it as "one of (Lutyens's) most remarkable buildings, at the time when he had reached maturity but still believed to the full in his own inventiveness."[3] The house is of a complex courtyard plan, with a varied range of materials, "stone with half-timbering, flint with brick and tile",[4] and styles, "Jacobean with classical, vernacular with Italianate."[5] Burke's and Savills Guide to Country Houses: East Anglia describes the hall as "an important early work by Lutyens, his first large work outside the Home Counties".[6]
During the First World War, the hall was used as a military hospital and the family sold the house for use as a convalescent home in 1932.[7] It is now a residential activity centre.
