Description
The Old Hall is a large house dating from around 1700, with a medieval wing on the left rear. The medieval wing is constructed of coursed rubble and has a pantiled roof. The main house features painted roughcast masonry and a pantiled roof with stone-flagged eaves, along with pebble-dashed chimney stacks. It is a 2-storey, 5-bay structure with raised-and-chamfered quoins. The entrance has a 6-panel door set in a broken-pedimented stone surround, located in the fourth bay. The original 12-pane sash windows have been replaced but retain projecting sills and wedge lintels. Above the door, there is a small square sundial with a circular face and a replaced gnomon, as well as a blocked oval window in a cable-moulded surround. The steeply-pitched roof has swept eaves, coped gables, and shaped kneelers, with end and ridge stacks.
The medieval wing features ground-floor walls that are 1.5 metres thick, a chamfered plinth, and remnants of a corbelled-out garderobe, alongside a later stone stair cut into the side on the left return. It also has alternating quoins, a blocked doorway, and a small first-floor lancet window on the rear gable end, with a roof that includes a brick stack at the rear. At the back of the house, there is a narrow 2-storey gabled stair wing with a replaced sash window.
Inside, the medieval wing contains a barrel-vaulted ground-floor room with a deep arched splay from a former gable-end doorway. The house features a possibly reconstructed 2-flight dogleg staircase with a closed string, square-section moulded handrail, and balusters with three rounded knops. A 2-storey, 2-bay addition on the right side of the house is not of special interest.
