The Old Hall

The Old Hall is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with alterations and additions made in the 19th century. It features narrow brick construction with stone dressings, using header bond on the entrance front and Flemish bond on the garden front. The roof is made of Welsh slate and includes brick chimney stacks. The main block has a double-depth plan under a two-span roof.

The entrance front is three stories high with five bays, recessed three-story end bays, and a single-story, two-bay pavilion on the left side. It has raised-and-chamfered quoins and a central six-panel door with a fanlight, set within a pedimented Roman Ionic surround supported by engaged columns. The windows are framed in eared-and-shouldered architraves, with 12-pane sashes on the ground and first floors, and square 6-pane sashes on the second floor. Above the central first-floor window is a Sun Company fire-insurance mark. The wooden cornice at the eaves features modillions, and the roof has coped gables, shaped kneelers, and end stacks. The end bays contain 8- and 4-pane sashes in matching architraves, also with a modillion eaves cornice and hipped roofs. The pavilion includes a stone plinth, raised-and-chamfered quoins, two 12-pane sashes in eared architraves, and a hipped roof.

On the garden front, which is situated on a sloping site, the main block is three stories plus a basement, with five bays and recessed end bays, alongside a two-story pavilion on the right. The details mirror those of the entrance front, except for a central replaced door in a pedimented Roman Ionic surround, accessed by a sweeping flight of nine steps with a cast-iron handrail featuring ornamental balusters. The basement has square 6-pane sashes in flat-faced surrounds. The main block has tall rebuilt end stacks, while the pavilion has blocked basement windows.

The interior has been altered in the late 19th to early 20th centuries.
