Description
Murton Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1651, with later alterations. It features coursed rubble walls and a roof made of large Welsh slates, along with brick chimneys. The building has two storeys plus an attic and includes four windows. A 20th-century part-glazed door, located in the third bay, has a chamfered surround, a hoodmould, and a concrete lintel that copies the original from 1651. To the left of the doorway is a square former fire window with a chamfered surround. The farmhouse has renewed mullioned windows beneath original hoodmoulds in the right and left end bays, with a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window above. The first floor also features two small, square blocked windows above and to the left of the doorway. The roof includes two late 20th-century dormers with concrete-coped gables and two rebuilt chimneys. The gabled right return has a truncated external stack. An outbuilding attached to the right is not of special interest.
