Hall Farmhouse And Attached Farmbuildings Under Same Roof

Hall Farmhouse and attached farmbuildings, dating from the early 17th century and comprising two phases of construction, have been altered over time. The buildings are constructed of deeply-coursed, squared limestone with Welsh slate and pantile roofs. They follow an L-shaped plan, with an earlier gabled bay on the left that extends as an elongated wing to the rear. The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics and has a six-bay roadside front. The original gabled bay features large quoins, a chamfered plinth, a large double-chamfered mullioned three-light window with a dripstone to the ground floor. The first-floor window of this bay is similar, but the sill has been lowered and the mullions removed, now featuring a three-light casement with glazing bars. An inserted casement window is on the right. The remaining bays have a wallstone plinth and quoined central wagon entrance with a wooden lintel. Bays 2 and 3 have two- and three-light casements with glazing bars, with the exception of the lower right window, which retains its original double-chamfered surrounds. Bays 5 and 6 have an inserted first-floor casement to the left of a blocked double-chamfered window without mullions. Shaped kneelers and renewed gable copings are present on the original bay and the right end of the range, with a renewed ashlar ridge stack located between bays 2 and 3. The rear of the building shows traces of the original windows, a blocked doorway to the right of the wagon entrance, and a wing largely consisting of farmbuildings with three 20th-century tractor openings. The left return features blocked mullioned windows with dripstones; a ground-floor window now without mullions has a 20th-century casement. The wing has a pantile roof with a corniced ashlar ridge stack at the end of the house section. Inside the rear wing, there are exposed collared principal-rafter trusses with some windbraces to double purlins.
