Hi Tony
Pevsner doesn't mention the hall when he surveyed the county in 1961, so either it didn't survive, or he didn't consider it to be of architectural importance.
I checked the White's directory of 1855 and could only find the following reference to it.
".........A great part of the soil belongs to Mr Wm Whistlecraft (owner of the Hall") GS GOLDING, Robert HEARN, Joseph HAMMOND and several smaller owners."
A John Whislecraft is listed as a farmer in Bacton at Bacton Hall.
George Tomline of Riby Grove, Lincolnshire was Lord of the Manor of Bacton and Old Bacton.
It might be worth getting the Parish Pack for Bacton from the Suffolk Record Office.
http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/LeisureAndCulture/LocalHistoryandHeritage/SuffolkRecordOffice/
These contain:
*Early Ordnance Survey maps (will give you an overview of the parish and its surroundings).
*County directories from 1844, 1874 and 1900 (will list some of the occupants of the village. This can be especially useful if your ancestors ran commercial premises such as the local pub or blacksmith's forge).
*Pocket histories (will supply background information on the parish including the church, manor and school).
*Copy photographs.
