Description
Old Hall Cottages is a large house, now divided into three cottages, likely dating from the late 16th century and has been altered over time. It is constructed of deeply-coursed, dressed sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. The building has a U-shaped plan and features a two-storey porch on the left side. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a symmetrical arrangement of windows on the first floor, consisting of one window, two windows, and one window.
The structure has a chamfered plinth and large quoins. The central section includes a door framed in ashlar, flanked by 19th-century four-pane sash windows on both floors. There is a walled-up earlier doorway on the right, which has a bonded surround and a deep lintel. The left wing projects and features a three-light casement window in a square-faced surround on each floor, topped with a crow-stepped gable. The right wing has a casement window with glazing bars in a double-chamfered surround with a dripstone on each floor, and the gable shows remnants of crow-steps on the right, while the left has gable copings set on a shaped kneeler.
The central ridge of the roof has 19th-century brick stacks at each end, with another brick stack on the left return of the right wing. At the rear, the central part has a transomed, four-light, ovolo-moulded mullion window with a dripstone, situated above a transomed, three-light chamfered mullion window. There are blocked original openings on the right side across three floors, and bricked-up three-light mullioned windows with dripstones in the attic of the left gable. Both wings feature crow-stepped gables.
On the left return, the porch projection includes a bricked-up, round-arched doorway beneath a transomed, three-light, ovolo-moulded mullion window with a dripstone, and there is a bricked-up two-light, double-chamfered mullion window in the crow-stepped gable. The interior has not been fully inspected.
