Docker Hall Farmhouse And Barns Attached On West Side

Docker Hall is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations, and attached barns likely from the 18th century. The building is constructed from sandstone rubble and features a steep slate roof. It has two storeys. To the left of the door, there is a 6-pane sash window with plain reveals that cuts through a drip course. To the right of the door is a modern window with a cement and stone surround. On the first floor, there are four sash windows without glazing bars and with plain reveals. The ground floor also shows the remains of two small blocked mullioned windows, and there are two similar blocked windows on the first floor, with a drip course above that has been cut back. The door has a rendered surround and is sheltered by an open timber porch. There are chimneys on the left-hand gable and to the right of the door. The rear wall features a two-storey lean-to stair projection, and to the left is a large projecting chimney stack with offsets. Inside, there is a stone spiral staircase that is now cased in wood, and the roof space is said to contain large timbers.

Adjoining the right-hand part of the facade is a range of buildings. The left-hand section, next to the main house, has one bay on the left with rebated and chamfered window surrounds. Further to the right is a wide entrance with plain reveals and a timber lintel, above which is a plaque inscribed: 'THM 1721'. On the ground floor to the right is a two-light window with an architrave and flat-faced mullion, while the first floor has breathers. Within this building, there is a doorway leading into the house that features a re-set moulded Tudor-arched lintel. Set back slightly to the right is a barn of separate construction, which has a wide entrance with a canopy and cheeks. Inside, above its lintel, is a re-set stone inscribed: 'WEB 1633'.
