Description
The Old Hall is a house dating from the mid-18th century, constructed of red brick with some ashlar details and a slate roof. It features two red brick stacks and raised ashlar coped gables. An ashlar cornice with a pediment crowns the slightly projecting central bay, which is set on a plinth. The building is L-shaped, two and a half storeys tall with a basement and consists of five bays, displaying first and second floor bands. The basement has four openings, while the central doorway, which is accessed by three steps, contains a six-fielded panel door with an overlight featuring 19th-century stained glass. Above the door is a decorative wooden fan, and the entrance is flanked by single pilasters adorned with bead and reel decoration, supporting brackets and an open pediment. On either side of the doorway are two glazing bar sash windows, and above, there are five similar sash windows with five smaller sash windows on the top floor. All sash windows have segmental arches and flush wedge brick lintels. To the right, there is a set-back brick and slate lean-to, and to the left, a brick wall connects the house to a greenhouse. The rear of the property features two-storey wings from earlier and later periods. Inside, there is an open well staircase with stick balusters.
