Description

Numbers 1, 2, and 3 Old Hall Cottages, also known as Foxes Yard, are a house originally divided into three cottages, now functioning as two. Construction began in 1687, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is built of whitewashed coursed rubble with ashlar gritstone dressings and has a 20th-century tiled roof with various stone stacks. The original plan included a hall, a cross wing, and a rear wing, with a single-story lean-to added between the wings.

The south front features six irregular windows arranged in a 1:5 pattern, with a projecting gable to the left. This gable has two-light windows on each floor, a doorway to the right with a 20th-century door, all with Tudor hoodmoulds. To the right of the doorway are a three-light chamfered mullion window, a doorway with a chamfered ashlar surround and deep lintel, a four-light chamfered mullion window with the central mullion removed, a projecting gabled brick porch, and a single-light fire window. Above the four-light window is a similar chamfered mullion window with the central mullion removed, and to the right a smaller two-light window, alongside two further windows. The west front has a central doorway with an ashlar surround and a single-light window to the right in a similar surround. Above this are a two-light window and another single-light window. The north front exhibits a 20th-century single-story range in the centre flanked by two-story gabled cross wings. The central range contains a central door and flanking two-light windows. The right cross wing displays a four-light chamfered mullion window with a Tudor hoodmould. Above is a similar window with the outer lights blocked and whitewashed over, and the central mullion removed. The left cross wing features a restored two-light mullion window, followed by an ashlar doorway with quoined jambs, a 20th-century door, and a 20th-century two-light window above, alongside another two-light window with an ashlar surround. Nearly all of the windows are fitted with 20th-century diamond-leaded metal frame casements.

Inside Number 1, there is a fine segmental, chamfered arched stone fireplace approximately 2 meters high, with a domed bread oven to the left. Some original roof timbers from the main range were reused within the 20th-century lean-to.
