Description

Trusley Old Hall is a farmhouse, along with attached cottages and a village hall, dating from the early 17th century. It was largely rebuilt in the mid-18th century and refurbished in 1945-7 and again in 1985. Farm buildings from the mid-19th century were converted in 1945-7. The building is constructed of red brick with brick dressings and a plain tile roof. The main house section has a very steeply pitched roof with brick gable stacks, along with a large, early 17th-century stone quoined external brick stack to the west, and stone coped gables.

The main house is two storeys plus attics and has three bays, with an attached L-shaped range of converted farm buildings to the north. Two bays of this range have been incorporated into the house. The main elevation of the house features three tall, glazing bar sashes with segment heads, installed in 1985. Above these, three further glazing bar sashes are set within original, segment-headed openings. A central roof dormer with a hipped roof and sash windows sits above. Two square gutters with cast iron hopper heads, decorated with a painted Coke coat of arms and dated 1902 (re-used from Trusley Manor), are on either side of the elevation. A single-storey bay, built around 1945, is attached to the north, featuring a re-used 18th-century doorcase facing south. A pair of re-used 19th-century wrought iron gates, in an 18th-century style, are attached to the east of this bay.

The north side contains the former farm buildings, with the north range converted into the Village Hall. The Village Hall has a blank wall on the ground floor, and two three-light windows either side of a tall three-light window in a half dormer above. Another range, attached to the west, features five cross-casement windows on the ground floor, with two four-centred arched doors to the north, and one glazed door to the south. Above the ground floor are three two-light casement windows below the eaves, and two hipped roofed half dormers. A single-storey range attached to the east of the Village Hall is not included in the listing.

The interior of the house has a Georgian style overall, dating from 1945, except for the two fireplaces belonging to the early 17th-century stack. The first-floor fireplace has an ovolo moulded edge, and the ground-floor fireplace has a simple chamfer. A re-used 16th-century overmantle is also present. The interior of the Village Hall features re-used 17th-century panelling from Kirkby Hall, Nottingham.
