Hemlington Hall Farmhouse, Farm Cottage and Garden Wall

Hemlington Hall Farmhouse, farm cottage, and garden wall are located in Hemlington, Middlesbrough. The farmhouse dates from the mid-18th century and was altered in the mid-19th century. The farm cottage was built around 1800, and the garden wall is also from the mid-19th century. All these structures are now used as a leisure centre, with the farm cottage serving as a caretaker's dwelling.

The farmhouse features renewed render and a painted dressed sandstone plinth, topped with Welsh slate roofs that have stone ridges and gable copings. The garden wall is constructed of brick in English garden wall bond with flat sandstone copings. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a three-window entrance front. It has a central renewed six-panel door and an original overlight with patterned glazing bars, framed by a partly renewed wood pilaster-and-entablature surround. The windows are 16-pane sash types with painted stone sills, and there is a plain parapet with flat sandstone copings. The ends of the building have stacks with stone caps.

Adjoining to the left is the lower two-storey farm cottage, which has a three-window facade. It features renewed doors in the centre and right end, with late 20th-century casement windows, except for a horizontal sash with glazing bars on the first floor to the right. The left end has a block kneeler, and similar ridge and left-end stacks are present. The garden wall projects from the middle of the cottage and extends north for about 25 meters, featuring an elliptical-headed cart-opening with plain stone imposts at the south end. This wall has been stepped down and partly rebuilt at the south end.

The garden front of the cottage has two mid-19th-century canted bay windows on the ground floor, with renewed sashes; the first floor has 16-pane sashes, while the ground floor has 12-pane sashes, all with painted stone sills. The cottage has a 16-pane sash window on each floor, although the right end is obscured by adjoining outbuildings.

Inside the farmhouse, there are some original ceiling cornices, six-panel doors, and wood architraves. The open-well staircase features shaped tread ends, stick balusters, a moulded handrail that scrolls onto a central boss, and a column newel on a scrolled curtail step. There are elliptical arches over the first-floor landing and a round arch over the first-floor passage, both with wood architraves and reeded responds. The outbuilding adjoining the south side of the farm cottage is not of special interest.
