Nicholas Pevsner records, "A five storey front block perhaps by Robert Trollope c1660 but much recast in c1850 and 1881. Curly open pediments to the windows. The central first floor window is a c19 insertion. The present porch is of c1850 of the same period as the sumptuous plasterwork in the drawing room done in the style of 1750 by the Italian Stuccari who worked at Alnwick Castle [this is a matter for conjecture - some experts claim that the intricate decoration is of a much earlier period and is carved wood]. The older central block which lay behind was demolished in the early 1960s but the 1881 North wing, copying the style of the South was retained as a separate house.
A major restoration project was undertaken in 1997: the Hall itself was restored and the nearby Eshott Village restored and expanded. Specialist contractor, Eshott Homes Limited, was founded to undertake the demanding work. Today the Estate includes the Hall, the East Wing, the reconstructed Lost Wing housing the Ballroom, a stable block and yard, the village of Eshott, the Home Farm and 400 acres of good arable land.
Eshott Hall Estate is owned and the Hall occupied by Ho and Margaret Sanderson and their four children, direct descendants of Emerson Bainbridge.
