Description

Hall O'Coole is a farmhouse dating back to the 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the 19th century. The structure is timber-framed, largely concealed by brickwork covered in pebble dash render, and capped with a plain tile roof. It has a T-shaped layout, consisting of an older section to which a late 17th-century wing and a 19th-century brick wing have been added.

The front of the house is dominated by a projecting gable of early 17th century origin, slightly right of centre, featuring a central chimney breast with offsets and a jettied gable supported by moulded brackets. This wing has three-light windows on both ground and first floors. To the right of this projecting wing is a slightly recessed area containing a pair of 20th-century French windows and a 19th-century rectangular bay window with a lean-to roof. A three-light casement window sits above. The recessed section to the left of the wing features a 20th-century doorway with a gabled porch and a two-light casement window. Above this is a cambered headed window of three casement lights and a set of 20th-century French windows. The first floor has two three-light and one two-light casement windows. Two 19th-century chimneys are located on the left-hand side. The right-hand side features a jettied gable with an ovolo moulded bressumer covered by rendering. A 19th-century rectangular bay window with a hipped roof is on the ground floor, and a 19th-century three-light casement window is above, with a 20th-century casement window to the attic.

The rear elevation is largely plain, with a 20th-century five-light casement window on the ground floor and a three-light casement window above. There's a 19th-century mezzanine staircase window of four lights, and a two-light casement window on the first floor. To the right of the gable is a four-light ground floor window and a set of 20th-century French windows, with a three-light and a two-light casement window on the first floor, alongside a brick lean-to.

Inside, the ground floor rooms display chamfered ceiling beams, while the dining room features ovolo-moulded ceiling beams with joists. A staircase of the 18th century is composed of three flights, having moulded tread ends, spiral twist balusters, square newel posts with beaded edges, moulded caps, and 19th-century facetted finials, and a moulded handrail. Also present are two early 18th-century doors with raised and fielded panels and early 19th-century brass latches, and two 17th-century doors with run-out stops. Chamfered ceiling beams are also found on the first floor. A late 17th-century staircase features moulded balusters, rectangular newel posts and a moulded handrail, with stick balusters to the landing. Plank doors lead to the attics; one has chased 17th-century strap hinges with fleur de lys terminations. Two roof trusses, with angle braces, are also visible.
