The Old Hall

House. Dating to the late 16th century. It is timber framed with painted brick nogging and a plain tile roof. The timber framing exhibits closely-spaced studs with rails, and decorative parallel diagonal stutting in the gable end to the east. The building originally comprised three framed bays and represents a surviving cross wing of a once larger house, with the hall range now destroyed.

The two-storey south front has two first-floor windows and three ground-floor windows, with early 20th-century two- and three-light casements fitted. A roughly central, late 19th or early 20th century timber-framed porch has a nail-studded boarded door with strap hinges and a four-part overlight, along with brackets supporting a gable with shaped barge boards and a finial. Irregular wall framing is visible to the left, formerly an internal wall between the cross wing and the former hall range, with timbers appearing roughened to receive plaster. Blocked ground and first-floor straight-sided arched doorways are present, one on the ground floor incorporating an inserted window.

The right-hand gable end shows an underbuilt formerly jettied first floor and a slightly jettied gable. It contains pairs of glazing bar sashes to each floor. The left-hand gable end features a jettied first floor with a restored bressumer and four brackets. A high brick plinth and two later brick buttresses are also present. A slightly jettied gable has a chamfered bressumer and restored end brackets, with first and ground-floor three-light casements.

The interior features chamfered beams. A left-hand ground-floor room contains a mid-to late 17th-century plaster overmantel with a cartouche featuring a raven, flanking terms, and flower drops, along with a plaster dentil cornice. A right-hand ground-floor room was refitted around 1700, featuring bolection-moulded panelling with a dado rail and moulded cornice, a round-arched corner cupboard, and doors with six raised and fielded panels, as well as panelled window shutters. A staircase, dating to around 1700, has a closed string, turned balusters, a newel post, and a moulded handrail. A right-hand first-floor room was remodelled around 1700, incorporating a plaster dentil cornice and a coved ceiling with central plaster panels, along with a door with six raised and fielded panels.
