Description

The Old Hall is a house dating to circa 1679, with alterations made around the 1820s. The construction is of coursed rubble and brick, with whitewashed exterior surfaces. The roofs are covered in pantiles and slate. A partial brick plinth is present, along with rebated eaves and four stacks (two ridge and two gable). The building has two storeys plus garrets, arranged over three bays with a single-range design and additional side wings.

The west front incorporates a 19th-century single-storey, single-bay brick addition with a pantile roof to the left. A lower, two-storey 19th-century brick service wing, spanning two bays, is located to the right, topped with a slate roof. The main west front features glazing bar sashes, some with segmental heads and rubbed brick heads; a tripartite sash with a moulded architrave and paterae is positioned to the right. Above, the upper floor contains a mix of glazing bar sashes and casements, all with segmental brick detailing. The south end has a plain sash window. The north end shows casements, a door, and a pair of garage doors. A Yorkshire sash window with a segmental head is located in the garret.

The east front features a single-storey service wing with a double-pitched roof to the far left. A leaded, flat-roofed porch with iron columns, a panelled doorcase, and a panelled door occupies the left side of the main east front. A round-headed glazing bar sash with Gothic tracery is positioned to the left of the porch, while a blocked doorway sits to its right. A glazing bar sash and a plank door with a segmental head complete the east facade; above are glazing bar sashes and casements with segmental heads. The service wing to the left has cellar lights and a casement. Return angles feature casements and a Yorkshire sash with a segmental head and barred light; a 19th-century toilet block incorporates a hatch and a door with a segmental head. The south end shows a door and a hatch.

The interior includes a section of the staircase with square newels featuring recessed chip-carved panels inscribed '1679', a chip-carved moulded handrail, turned balusters, and a plain 19th-century staircase with stick balusters. A main living room incorporates an ashlar fireplace with a round-headed reeded surround and crested keystone. The eastern service wing displays a stud partition and an oak winder stair with square newels. Bedrooms feature five incised stone fireplaces with Adam-style hob grates. A range of doors are present, including 18th-century six-panel and four-panel doors, and 19th-century two-panel doors, alongside three plank doors. An early 19th-century panelled fitted dresser is also a feature.
