Description
The Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 19th centuries. It features a combination of timber framing, red brick, and coursed squared sandstone. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has three brick stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a square plan, but it also retains significant parts of an L-plan close studded timber framed structure.
The exterior has undergone many changes over the years. The east elevation includes a projecting bay on the right, with the ground floor made of sandstone featuring a six-light window that originally had stone mullions. Above this, red brick is used, with a blocked three-light window in the gable. The left side has stone quoins, and the upper floor shows the only external signs of the timber frame. The south elevation is twin-gabled and made of red brick, featuring two early 19th-century three-light segmental-arched casement windows, with two similar windows above. There are also two blocked segmental arched openings in the gables.
The west elevation is irregular and consists of a red brick ground floor and a tile-hung upper floor. A central 19th-century Gothic arch leads to a recessed porch with a decorative brick arch. To the right, there is a three-light casement window under a segmental arch, and to the left, a large 20th-century casement window. The first floor has three windows of varying sizes and irregular placements under flat heads.
The north elevation features irregular 20th-century windows. Inside, particularly on the upper floor, many close stud walls are visible. The ground floor southeast room has a stone bolection moulded chimney piece, late 16th-century panelling, and a carved overmantel displaying the Ferrers arms. There is also a late 17th-century dogleg staircase with turned balusters.
