Description
Hungry Hall and the former farm buildings to the right are a house and farm structures dated 1753, with a late 19th-century rear addition and mid-19th-century alterations and extensions to the farm buildings. The buildings are constructed of squared rubble with stone-flagged roofs and stone chimney stacks. The house features a double-range plan with a hearth passage to the right, accessed from the farm building. There is a former pigsty attached to the right side of the farm building.
The house is two stories tall with two bays and has flush quoins. It has replaced four-pane sash windows in tooled surrounds with chamfered sills. The roof is a two-span design with coped gables, and the end stacks have been rebuilt with top bands and water tables.
The set-back farm buildings now serve as storage rooms. There is a left doorway leading into the hearth passage, which has a replaced glazed door and a lintel inscribed with "Ra. & Ma. Robinson." To the right, there are two fixed lights and a boarded door. The roof of this section has a coped right gable.
Attached to the right return of the farm building is a lean-to former pigsty with a hen-house above. It features a feeding chute flanked by boarded doors, and there is a possibly re-set right door lintel inscribed with "R:R: 1744." Above this, there is a boarded opening with a wide ledge and a lean-to roof.
The right gable of the farm building includes pigeon holes and ledges, while the rear has L-plan stone stairs leading to a replaced glazed door.
The farm buildings attached to the left of the house, covered with corrugated iron and slate roofs, are not of special interest.
