Description
New Hall Farm is a farmhouse and adjoining cottage dating to 1630, as indicated by a date stone. The building is constructed with a coursed rubble plinth, English garden wall bond brickwork, stone dressings, and a graduated stone slate roof. It follows a T-shaped baffle-entry plan with two storeys plus an attic.
The main house section features a projecting bay with a six-light, double-chamfered mullion and transom window with a hoodmould. The front door has a moulded surround, a Tudor-arched lintel, and an elaborate carved panel above bearing the date, a Davenport shield, and the initials "WDED" (William and Elizabeth Davenport). The first floor of the projecting bay has a four-light chamfered mullion and transom window with leaded lights and a hoodmould. Other windows include a small two-light mullion window and a four-light mullion and transom window. The gable of the projecting bay is coped with kneelers and has a two-light chamfered mullion attic window surmounted by an arched light above the hoodmould. A similar window is found in the dormer of the second bay, which also has a coped gable with kneelers. Diagonal ridge chimney shafts are located on the right and left sides. A timber lean-to addition exists against the left wall, and a four-light chamfered mullion and transom window is located at first-floor level, alongside a six-light double-chamfered mullion and transom window with a king mullion at ground level. The rear of the house has two five-light and one six-light mullion and transom windows, as well as two two-light mullion windows and a two-light attic window matching those on the front.
The interior retains ovolo-moulded beams, carved on three sides with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. An oak-panelled parlour is present. Later 19th-century partitions have altered some of the spatial qualities of the house-part. New Hall Farm represents a remarkably well-preserved early example of both brick construction and multi-floored planning.
