Hall Farmhouse

Hall Farmhouse, now a house, was built in 1710 for Philip Lacock and was refenestrated around 1870. It is a brick building with a plain tile roof, featuring first and second floor bands and gable bands. The gables are shouldered and have coped details. Single gable and ridge stacks are present. The house is three storeys high, originally with two bays, and now in an L-plan configuration. The windows are primarily mullioned casements with glazing bars. The south front has a central, mid-19th century gabled porch with a round-headed opening and a half-glazed door with a fanlight, flanked by casements. A datestone inscribed "Philip Lacock Esquire 1710" sits above the porch. Above the datestone are two gables, each containing a casement window. The east side has a 20th-century door and, to its right, two casements. Above are three irregularly spaced casements, and above again, a casement window to the garret. The west side has 19th and 20th-century lean-to additions in the return angle, including a door and three 20th-century windows. To the right of the lean-to is a gabled cartshed, with a single bay containing a pair of doors with segmental heads. Above the doors is a Yorkshire sash window, and above again, a casement to the garret. The rear of the property has a casement window, and a 20th-century single-storey addition to the right. There are two casement windows on each of the upper floors. Inside, a dogleg staircase from the early 18th century has an intersecting string and handrail, square newels, and vase balusters. The roof is a common rafter design, largely constructed using re-used timber. Notable interior features include a cambered fireplace bressumer and chamfered span beams with run-out stops.
