Hall Cross Farmhouse

Hall Cross Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1777, as indicated by the datestone above the door. It is constructed of red brick with a slate roof featuring gable chimneys and a ridge chimney. The building has a three-bay plan, with the first bay being double-depth and a later addition at the rear of the second bay. It stands three storeys tall and has a small modern single-storey gabled porch at the junction of the second and third bays, leading to the original panelled door. Above the door is a moulded datestone inscribed with "G ; H : M 1777". Each floor has three windows, all with gauged brick segmental heads. The ground and first-floor windows are large and square with nine panes, while the second-floor windows are low three-light casements. There is also a smaller vertical rectangular stairlight between the first and second bays, likely a 19th-century addition. A former barn, which is not included in the listing, extends to the left at a lower level. The right gable and rear of the farmhouse have been altered and rendered. Inside, there are square beams, a square stone fireplace in the second bay, a smaller fireplace in the first bay, and panelled pitch pine doors.
