Description
Hall Farmhouse is a house with a history spanning the late 16th century to the 18th century, and with 20th-century alterations. The north wing originates from the late 16th century and was rebuilt and extended to the south in the late 17th and 18th centuries. The construction is a mix of brick on a high stone base for the north and west fronts, and dressed stone for the remainder. The roofs are tiled with coped gables, and the chimneys are brick with offset caps.
The house is two storeys with an attic and basement. The west front, facing the road, is three bays wide, featuring a first-floor band course and dentil eaves. The basement has a two-light leaded casement to the left and a larger two-light opening with a chamfered mullion between the left bays, both with chamfered stone surrounds. Bowed brick projections support the ground-floor windows, which are also bowed and have five-light leaded casements, the bows dating to the early 19th century with 20th-century replacement windows. The first floor has 20th-century wooden cross casements with original, shaped (gauged) heads. The right gable end has a 20th-century stone bay window on the ground floor. The rear elevations have mostly renewed 20th-century barred wooden casements of two- and three-lights, with a larger, 19th-century casement on the first floor of the north wing's gable end. This gable end also includes a 20th-century door and a lean-to dairy extension around the northeast corner. A 20th-century stone lean-to runs along the rear of the west wing, featuring a Cornish slate roof, barred wooden casements, and a door set within a four-centred arch dated 1634, which has been reused.
Inside, the rear bay of the north wing exhibits a richly moulded cross beam and heavy 16th-century floor joists. The south bays of the west wing have ovolo-moulded beams. A 17th-century staircase in the northwest corner features heavy turned wooden balusters, with a top landing containing splat balusters. There are some original pieces of 17th-century panelling, along with panelled doors.
