Description

Cloth Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with the right part remodelled in 1723. It features deeply-coursed stone and a stone slate roof that is covered in bitumen. The building has a three-cell cross-passage plan and stands two storeys high.

The left bay is gabled and retains double-chamfered windows, including a 6-light window with a king-mullion on the ground floor and a 4-light window with a hoodmould on the first floor, although two mullions have been removed. There is a continuous dripmould on the ground floor and a small light in the gable apex.

The right two bays have an entrance on the left with a square head and a raised keystone that is inscribed with 'E J P 1723'. These bays contain two sets of 3-light flat-faced mullion windows, each with one mullion removed. A band runs between the floors, and the gable copings are chamfered to the left on moulded kneelers. There are two ashlar stacks; the left one, which is over the passage, has been truncated, while the right one, located between bays two and three, has been heightened.

At the rear, there is one 3-light and two 2-light double-chamfered windows, with two of the windows having a mullion removed. Inside, there is a Tudor-arched passage entrance into the left wing, and the central room features an arched fireplace with a keystone, which is covered by a later fireplace.
