Description
Old Hall is a large house, likely built in the late 16th century. It features well-coursed rubble and a stone-tiled roof. The building has two storeys with attics in the gables and a main facade that consists of eight bays arranged as 1:4:1. The outer projecting gables are symmetrical and include 4-light mullioned and transomed windows with king mullions, as well as moulded architraves and 2-light mullioned windows in the attics. There are additional small windows on the inner faces of the gables.
The central range has a door on the left, framed by a moulded stone architrave and topped with a steeply pointed pediment. To the right of the door are three 2-light stone mullioned and transomed windows, also with moulded architraves and hoodmoulds that create a string course. The house has two axial stacks and one projecting stack on the right-hand gable wall. The rear of the building features outer projecting gables and a lower coped gabled projection on the inner side of the left-hand gable, which serves as a porch and contains a 3-light mullioned window. There is a large projecting stack to the right of the porch, and the rear windows have flat timber lintels. A tall outshut runs between the porch and the right-hand gable, featuring one mullioned window and a large 4-light mullioned and transomed window.
Inside, one room is lined with 17th-century oak panelling and cornice, and there is an early 18th-century fitted corner cupboard with round arched doors. The Main Hall boasts a massive Tudor fireplace with a 4-centred arch, gadrooned frieze, and cornice. There are two 4-centred arched doorways off the passage with chamfered jambs, which were formerly external or service-end doors. A large oak staircase, likely from the early 17th century, is possibly a later addition to the house and is housed in the rear outshut, featuring heavy squared newels and turned balusters.
