Description

Ightfield Hall is a farmhouse, likely built in the late 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the early 19th century and further changes in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick and has a plain tile roof, featuring a T-plan layout with two storeys and an attic. It has a beaded wooden fascia, parapeted gable ends with sandstone copings and shaped stone kneelers, along with integral brick end stacks that were rebuilt above the roof in the late 19th century.

The house has three hipped eaves dormers with two-light wooden casements and three bays with late 19th-century glazing bar sashes, which have small panes in the upper leaf and large panes in the lower leaf, all set on stone cills with slightly segmental heads. The central entrance features a 19th-century four-panelled door, where the lower panels are beaded flush and the upper panels are glazed, topped with a rectangular overlight and a late 19th-century timber framed gabled porch on a chamfered brick plinth.

At the rear, there is a wing with an external brick lateral stack, a central brick stack off the ridge to the southwest, and a parapeted gable end with chamfered grey sandstone coping and shaped stone kneelers. A reset strapwork datestone on the southeast side is inscribed with "1672." Although the interior was not inspected, the owner reported in October 1986 that it features an oak staircase with large turned balusters. The rear wing has been extended, likely in the early 19th century, as indicated by a straight joint. The house is situated within a moated site, which was still partly filled with water at the time of the survey, and it is part of a complete farmstead group that includes a timber framed barn and a stable.
