Old Hall Farmhouse

Old Hall Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with a further storey raised around 1800. It is constructed of red brick in an English garden wall bond, with a Swithland slate roof, brick ridge and end stacks. The building is arranged around a central staircase plan and has three storeys to the main block, and two storeys and an attic to the wings. The main block has a four-window front. The central door, on the garden side, has a moulded wood surround and a segmental-arched head. It is a four-panel door. Twelve-pane sash windows are present to the ground and first floors, with segmental-arched heads. Second-floor windows have six-pane sashes and brick lintels.

The right-side elevation also has twelve-pane sash windows to each floor, with flat-arched heads to the ground and first floors, and a segmental-arched head to the second floor. A central six-panel door with an overlight and flat-arched head is present on this elevation. The rear elevation has cross windows, with flat-arched heads to the ground floor windows, while others have brick lintels. A small, one-light window is present on the first floor, far right, with a brick lintel. Storey bands are visible to the front, back, and side elevations, with a second-storey band to the side and rear elevations, but not to the garden front. Dentilled brick eaves are present to the garden front.

A two-storey and attic wing is located to the left of the garden front, with cross windows to the ground and first floors, again with segmental-arched heads, and a storey band which continues that of the main block. A further two-storey and attic wing projects to the rear, featuring a back door to the right side and three-light casement windows to the ground and first floors, all with segmental-arched heads. The left side has a cat-slide roof.

Inside, the kitchen features a pump with a timber housing and lead trough and spout, dated 1760, with the maker's initials "M/IM" and “Jn/MARRIOT/MELTON/PLUMBER” inscribed on a scroll between two pedestals, on which two putti stand. The kitchen also has a brick floor, ogee stop-chamfered beams, and a bread oven. Cast-iron grates, dating from around 1800, are found in four first-floor rooms, decorated with Prince of Wales feathers. A dog-leg back stair has stick balusters. The main range has a queen post roof, while the wing has a collar truss roof.
