Description

Norcliffe Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a raised roof and brick alterations made in the mid-19th century. The building is timber-framed with brick nogging on an ashlar plinth at the front, while the rest is finished in washed brick. It has a Welsh slate roof and two brick chimneys. The farmhouse has a long rectangular plan, is two stories high, and features a four-bay front. Most of the windows are casements with applied lead glazing, and the upper windows are set in a brick section that was added when the roof was raised above the timber small framing. Above one of these upper windows is a coved gabled dormer that was also raised with the roof. The lower window in the second bay is a five-light wooden ovolo-moulded mullioned and transomed window, while the third bay has a board door located under a gabled hood supported by wooden brackets. There is a one-story brick lean-to at the right end of the farmhouse.
