Description
Old Hall Farmhouse and The Cottage is a combined farmhouse and barn, now divided into two dwellings, likely built around 1730. The structure is made of rubble sandstone and features a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high and has five windows on the first floor, with a central rear wing flanked by lean-tos. The building has large ashlar quoins and a central waggon entrance that has been infilled and now includes two doorways with bonded jambs and a segmental arch that has been cut by an inserted window.
On the left side, there is a blocked, chamfered doorway flanked by inserted casements, while an open doorway on the right has similar treatment. A first-floor band rises over the arch. Above each side doorway, there are loading doors; the left one has been converted into a casement with an inserted casement to its right, while the right loading door has been infilled and is flanked by an old horizontal sliding sash on the left and a later casement on the right. The building features shaped kneelers and square-cut gable copings, with old brick stacks at the ends and another stack on the ridge to the left of centre, as well as one on the ridge of the rear wing.
At the rear, the wing has a plinth and a ground floor sill band, with an impost band above the round-arched waggon entrance, which has been partially glazed. There is also a large glazed lunette in the gable. The lean-to side wings, which are set back, have sill bands for windows on each floor, with the ground floor left window featuring a horizontal sliding sash. The ridge stack of the wing has a moulded ashlar plinth.
