Description
Hamsteels Hall Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse with early 19th-century alterations. It features incised stucco with tooled ashlar dressings and a plinth, topped by a stone-flagged roof with stone gable copings and corniced brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high and has five bays. The central door, dating from the 19th century, has three-over-three chamfered panels and a four-pane overlight, set in a chambranlé surround beneath a broken segmental pediment. The 12-pane sash windows have plain stone surrounds and projecting stone sills, showcasing fine glazing bars. The roof is adorned with gable copings on ogee-moulded kneelers and features end chimneys. The left side of the building has a small rectangular window in the gable peak, while the full-height rear outshut is not of particular interest.
Inside, there are two-panel doors in architraves and panelled window shutters. The ground-floor room on the left has full early 18th-century panelling, and a similar style of panelling and cupboards can be found in the right room on the first floor. The staircase is of good quality, featuring a dogleg design with turned balusters, a panelled dado, a wreath and curtail, and a ramped handrail.
