Description
Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the late 16th century, significantly remodelled in the 1840s. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings, featuring an ashlar front on its south side. The roof is covered in stone slate with moulded coped gables to the south, including plain kneelers, and decorative barge boards to the north. The building has two external stacks, with paired ashlar diamond shafts. There are also paired ashlar diamond shafts to the ridge and gable stacks of the north wing.
The south elevation is almost symmetrical, with three bays and gabled outer bays. A narrow recessed centre bay contains a four-centred arched, chamfered opening leading to a recessed porch. A four-centred arched inner doorway has a half-glazed gothic door with margin lights. To the right is a large three-light window with timber mullions and transoms, within a chamfered stone surround and a returned hoodmould. To the left is a canted bay window with 1-3-1 lights, timber mullions and transom, and chamfered stone surrounds, featuring a moulded plinth and a parapet with a moulded base band and coping, stepped up in the centre. The first floor has a central two-light window with a timber mullion, set in a chamfered stone surround, with a bracketed sill and moulded lintel. This is flanked by similar three-light windows, also with returned hoodmoulds. A coped parapet to the centre bay has a triangular-headed projection with a blind cross arrow slit. The gables incorporate narrow slit windows and the broken remains of finials.
The east elevation has four bays. An off-centre gabled bay has a chamfered four-centred arched doorway with a squared, returned hoodmould and pierced spandrels, housing a half-glazed gothic door with margin lights. A three-light window with timber mullions and transom is set within a plain ashlar surround to the right. Two similar two-light windows are to the left. There are three similar two-light windows above, and a similar three-light window. A datestone inscribed "1844" is present, along with an illegible date.
The interior of the south wing features a cantilevered stone staircase with an iron balustrade, leading to a top-lit staircase hall with four-centred gothic arches.
