Cockfield Hall And Farm Buildings And Walls Attached

Cockfield Hall and the attached farm buildings and walls are a farmhouse and farm structures dating from the early 18th century. They are built of coursed rubble with quoins and coarse sandstone ashlar dressings, featuring mostly pantiled roofs with stone copings, although some areas have corrugated asbestos. The complex includes three ranges of farm buildings that enclose a yard behind the house.

The front range consists of a two-storey, five-bay house, with a farm building attached to the left that has two low storeys and two bays. The house features a central 20th-century door in a moulded stone surround, with an architrave above the door and a partial architrave above the windows in the outer bays. The windows have 20th-century glazing below and late 19th-century sashes above, with blocked windows flanking the door. A sundial is positioned above the central window. The roof has end gable copings on moulded kneelers and corniced ashlar end chimneys.

The farm building to the left has two small square first-floor hit-and-miss and glazed openings in plain stone surrounds, and it also has an asbestos roof. There is a one-storey, one-bay outbuilding that projects forward on the left, likely used as an earth-closet. The house features a slightly later full-width extension under a catslide roof, which is interrupted by a central gabled stair wing. The left farm building has chamfered stone surrounds to the doors on the ground floor and to the loft, which is accessed by external stone steps.

A high wall attached to the right return of the house includes a round arch with voussoirs and a rebated surround. The remaining farm buildings that complete the quadrangle are mostly one-storey, featuring round or elliptical arches with voussoirs for vehicle entrances and loose-boxes. There is a two-storey, three-bay section at the left of the rear range with a plain stone surround to the central door, a loft opening above, and vent slits to the right, topped by a hipped roof. The vehicle entrance nearest to the house on the right return has had its external arch removed and replaced with straight jambs.

A fold-yard wall runs parallel to the rear of the house and is attached to the right range.
