Description
Old Hall Farmhouse is a manor house that has been converted into a farmhouse. It dates back to the 16th century, with later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from stone rubble and painted timber framing, featuring painted infill panels, and has plain-tile roofs. The structure has a roughly E-shaped plan and includes a central moulded brick stack with an oversailing cap and an integral brick eaves stack.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic. The southeast front displays three gables, with the central framed gable being recessed. The left-hand gable is made of stone rubble and features a single wood mullion and transom window at both storeys, set in brick segmental-arched openings. The return side to the right has full-height close-studded framing with a middle rail. The central gable has a three-light casement in a brick segmental-arched opening at ground level, with a framed gable truss above, close studding under a two-light first-floor casement, and herringbone pattern braces on each side. The gable also features a cambered tie beam and vertical strut with herringbone pattern raking struts in the gable end. A small stone gabled entrance porch is located to the centre right. The right-hand gable, made of stone rubble, has single casements in brick segmental-arched openings at all three storeys, and the right return side of the gable includes a lean-to porch, a tiled bread oven, and a brick segmental-arched casement.
On the northwest side, there is a central two-window range of two-light and three-light casements. The stone gable to the left has brick segmental-arched casements at the first and attic levels, with a ground-floor door to the right. The left side is masked by a projecting farm building to the north. The framed gable to the right features square framing two panels high on a high stone plinth, with a straight tie beam, vertical struts with two collars, and twin raking struts above. Stone steps lead up to a boarded door set within the framing. The right return side of the gable continues the square framing two panels high on a high brick plinth at the centre, with stone rubble for the remainder.
Inside, the kitchen contains some interesting panelling with a carved frieze and a carved lintel over the chimney. The ceiling features heavy timbers and chamfered joists.
