Cound Hall is a is a Grade I listed building, Baroque house of red brick with stone dressings, built by John Prince for Edward Cressett. The piece de resistance of the house is arguably the staircase, a nice alteration which can be dated to the late 18th century.

At a time, the Hall was placed on an At risk register as English Heritage was most concerned about the building's continuing deterioration. However, through building a new estate of houses, inside the gatehouse entrance on the east side of the estate, they raised sufficient funds to rescue the house; and the Hall is now almost fully restored (2008) and is inhabited as a family house once again.
