Description

Old Hall Farm House is a hunting lodge, later adapted as a farmhouse, dating to circa 1525. It was likely built for Sir John Hussey. The building is constructed of brick, partially rendered, with a steep-pitched 19th-century slate roof. Later rear wings have slab tile roofs. Terra cotta dressings are moulded, with single ridge, gable, and side wall stacks. It is a two-story building, originally three bays, now arranged in an L-plan layout. Windows are mainly 19th and 20th-century casements inserted into 16th-century moulded terra cotta openings, which were originally mullioned and featured hood moulds.

The main east front has a Tudor arched doorway to the left, with a damaged moulded terra cotta architrave, imposts, and hood mould, flanked by 20th-century casements. To the right is a 20th-century door replacing a window opening. Above are three 20th-century casements set within 16th-century openings, the rightmost retaining its hood mould. The south end features a 19th-century rear addition with casements and a door, and another 19th-century addition of one bay with a door having a segmental head and a diamond breather and square hatch above.

The rear elevation has 20th-century casements in 16th-century openings with hood moulds; the left opening is blocked, while the right has a 20th-century casement. To the right are 19th-century rear wings and a lean-to addition. The north side has casements and a door with a segmental head, and above, a glazing bar casement. The west front features a plank door, and to the right, a door and hatch also with segmental heads. Above are two 20th-century casements. The north gable retains remains of a five-light mullioned window with a hood mould on each floor, along with a blocked opening and a diamond breather.

Inside, noteworthy features include an unusual moulded terra cotta spiral stair, a large staff-moulded span beam, and a much-repaired principal rafter roof with tenoned purlins, wind braces, and tenoned rafters. A single 17th-century plank door and two 19th-century close boarded doors remain, along with an early 19th-century hob grate.
