Description
Weaver Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with 19th-century additions and alterations. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick and has a slate roof, which was previously covered with stone slates. The building has three storeys plus an attic and features an H-shaped plan.
The entrance front includes a projecting gabled wing on the left, which has bands of three bricks in depth between the floors and two 2-light windows on each floor, all with wedge-shaped brick lintels. Most of these windows are blocked, except for those on the left of the first and second floors, with the first-floor window having been widened. There is a porthole window in the gable. To the right is a recessed section that, along with the right-hand wing, was refaced in 19th-century brick. A 19th-century porch is located in the left-hand re-entrant angle, with two 3-light cambered-headed windows to the right. The first and second floors of the right-hand wing also have similar fenestration, with 3-light windows on each floor.
At the rear, one timber post is visible in the right-hand re-entrant angle. Inside, there is a baffle entry with a chamfered bressumer to the ingle nook in the parlour. The ground floor rooms feature chamfered end-stopped ceiling beams. The roof trusses consist of queen posts with cambered ties and collars, along with arched wind braces. The farmhouse is historically noted in George Ormerod's "History of the County Palatine and City of Chester" from 1819, which includes an engraving of the house before its 19th-century refacing.
