Old Well Hall

A row of three houses, originally one building, dating from the 17th century. The building is constructed of rubble with sandstone dressings and a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high with an attic. The windows are double-chamfered with mullions, most with hoods. Number 15, on the left-hand side, has a five-light window on each floor. On the right-hand side, the first floor features a window surround of 19th-century style. Below it is a door with a chamfered surround of 19th-century style and a Tudor-arched head. The central houses, numbers 16 and 17, originally had a gabled porch with the upper storeys oversailing, supported by a cyma-moulded string course. To the left of the porch are windows of three lights and two lights, the latter being modern but sympathetic to the original style. On the first floor is a window of three lights. To the right of the porch is a five-light ground-floor window and a four-light window on the first floor. At the far right, on both floors, is a chamfered fire window with a segmental head; the first-floor window is blocked. The porch has a two-light window on the first floor above it, a blocked oculus with a cyma-moulded surround, and below it a blank rectangular plaque with a cyma-moulded surround. Both return walls of the porch have blocked one-light chamfered windows with segmental heads. The outer porch door has a cyma-moulded surround with a segmental head and moulded imposts, containing a chamfered stone surround of 19th-century style. The inner porch door is also cyma-moulded with a segmental head. Number 18, on the right-hand side, has a five-light window on the ground floor and a four-light window on the first floor. The door has a chamfered stone surround of 19th-century style with a Tudor-arched head. The right-hand gable wall features later additions on the ground floor, and on the first floor, a blocked two-light mullioned window. Above are two blocked attic lights. Inside the middle house (numbers 16 and 17), the right-hand room has a massive chamfered axial beam with exposed chamfered and stopped common joists. The outline of a wide chamfered stone fireplace is visible through wallpaper, above which is a stone shield carved with a star. The interiors of numbers 15 and 18 were inaccessible at the time of survey.
