Hapton Hall Farmhouse

Hapton Hall Farmhouse is a three-bay, two-storey farmhouse built in 1710, architect unknown. It is constructed of thin sandstone rubble, partially rendered, beneath pitched slate roofs. The building is linear in plan with a rear extension to a later cottage addition and a late 20th-century porch addition to the rear of the farmhouse. Ridge and gable chimneys are present throughout.

The farmhouse's front (east) elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central doorway with a window above it and two pairs of coupled windows on each floor. All openings have plain square surrounds, though the glazing has been altered. An attached cottage extension projects to the east, its elevation built of slobbered rubble with quoins. The cottage's south gable return is rebuilt and contains an offset door with coupled windows to both floors and a narrow light beneath the gable apex, the latter having chamfered surrounds while other openings retain plain stone surrounds. The cottage extension's south elevation displays a modern lean-to entrance porch with a side window and coupled windows to both floors with plain stone surrounds. The extension's partly rebuilt gable wall has single windows to each floor with plain stone surrounds. The farmhouse's rear wall is rendered and includes a central modern pitched roof porch, a coupled window to the left, a small oblong window to the right, and four windows above, most now top-hung casements with glazing bars. The double-pile north gable has a later lean-to addition attached to the rear and part of the front pile, with single windows to each floor of the front pile, all with plain stone surrounds.

Interior access through the front door leads into a through hallway. The left front room features a later polished marble fire surround, a panelled door, and large chamfered beams with cyma stops in the centre and mortices in the soffit. The right front room's internal area has been reduced with its rear wall rebuilt during a kitchen extension; it retains a panelled door, timber beams, and an early timber and tile fire surround, though glass-fronted wall cupboards are modern additions. The rear kitchen has been enlarged and modernised but retains a stone fire surround at one end. A small pantry with an early door and an early rear door occupy the opposite side of the hallway, which also features early wall-mounted coat hooks. A stone staircase with stick balusters and an elegant slim handrail ramped at the bottom rises from the hallway. The upper floor contains two modernised bathrooms, small bedrooms to the rear and above the hallway, and two larger bedrooms to the front; three bedrooms have a ceiling beam.

The interior of the cottage and its extension has been extensively modernised, though surviving early features include ceiling beams in the living room, kitchen, and main bedroom, and a wall cupboard at the top of the staircase.

The farmhouse's rear porch and the porch to the cottage extension are not of special architectural or historic interest.
