Description
Hallaston is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the early 17th century, with later alterations. It features a sandstone rubble plinth and a timber frame with brick and plaster infill, which is mostly roughcast. The roof is made of Welsh slate and has a large sandstone and brick ridge stack, along with an external end stack constructed from the same materials. The building has a rectangular six-bay plan oriented north-north-east to south-south-west and consists of one storey and an attic.
On the east elevation, there are four windows, which are 2-light early 20th-century glazing bar casements located in gabled dormers. The left gable and the gable to the right of the center display exposed framing with close-studding supported by curved braces from the collar. The left gable features a pair of spurs on its curved braces. The gable to the left of center is roughcast, likely covering framing similar to the other two gables, while the right-hand gable is made of painted brick, probably from the early 20th century.
The ground floor has two similar casements beneath the left two gables and a ledged door, likely from the late 19th century, to the right of the center. There is a second ledged door on the right-hand side that leads into the dairy. Attached to the left side is a full-height wash house and bakery, which includes another 2-light glazing bar casement and a 9-pane window. To the right of this window is a ledged door.
The west elevation features a framed lean-to along the southern portion of the building. The south gable has a lozenge pattern created by multiple scissor struts, and the frame consists of three square panels high from the cill to the wall-plate. Inside, there are flagged stone floors, stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops on the ground floor ceiling beams, and raking struts from the collars of the trusses. The wash house and bakery contain a late 19th-century oven and copper, as well as an interrupted tie-beam truss with curved principals. The dairy features a large salting stone.
