Description
Old Hall, along with its gate piers and flanking wall, is a large house dating from around 1611. It is constructed of coursed rubble with some ashlar work and features a stone tiled roof. The building has two storeys with attics and is designed in a shallow H-plan, which is loosely symmetrical along both principal axes.
The entrance front showcases gabled wings topped with finials and features ovolo mullioned windows with flat hoodmoulds. The central range is recessed and includes a round-arched colonnade on the ground floor supported by Tuscan columns on tall bases, with a balustraded balcony above. The porch is located in the right-hand bay of the colonnade. Above the first floor, there is a large ashlar stack centrally placed, flanked by mullioned and transomed lights, one of which contains a door. An arcaded parapet runs along the inner faces of the wings and across the front, left and right of the stack at eaves level.
The garden front is similar in style, but the colonnade features flat arches. The central range, made of ashlar, has outer mullioned and transomed openings that flank a large 8-light mullioned and transomed window with a central king mullion, all beneath a small gable that matches the stack on the outer facade. The windows on the wings of this facade are larger and also include king mullions.
Inside, the house features various fireplaces, a wide newel staircase with heavy balusters topped with finials, and a fine panelled room.
The front of the house is enclosed by a dry stone wall with shaped ashlar coping and two pairs of gate piers. The westernmost pair is made of ashlar, octagonal in shape, and topped with large ball finials. The easternmost pair is more refined, made of rusticated ashlar with inner pilasters and consoles, also topped with ball finials.
