Description
Hampton Old Hall is a house built in 1591, which has been altered and added to over the years. It features a timber-framed structure on a stone base, with brick and stone wings, and has slate and tile roofs. The building is two storeys high with cellars and consists of three symmetrical bays with front-facing gables, while a fourth bay on the left side is set back. The three main bays are close panelled, with some sections painted to simulate timber on a stone plinth that contains cellars featuring 2-light mullion windows. The windows are made of oak with mullions and transoms, having 2 and 3 lights, and include metal framed casements. There are two replaced multiple brick stacks located in the valleys of the roof.
The fourth bay has a front-facing gable and is timber-framed, showcasing a moulded bressumer and decorative baluster and chevron patterns. Above the doorcase, which has moulded jambs and a head, is a blind mullion window with a moulded frame, and the door itself is a stud door. The left side of the building is brick with stone dressings, part of it painted to resemble timber-framing, and features a stone wing at the rear. The stonework includes three-light mullions on a canted bay and oriel, along with a projecting ground floor brick stack and glazed diaper pattern brickwork.
On the right side, there is a dormer casement and a timber-framed porch, with the upper part being an addition. The porch contains panelling and has a bolection moulded architrave leading to a six-panel door. Timber gable finials adorn the structure. Inside, the hall features panelling and panelled doors, an elaborately carved mantlepiece with a panel painting above it, and an overmantel. There is a simple oak back stair with balusters on the first floor. The back door, dated 1591, is fitted with heavy wrought iron hinges and fittings.
