Hinton Old Hall

Hinton Old Hall is a house that dates from the early to mid-17th century, with a late 16th-century core. It has undergone alterations and additions, particularly in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with yellow and grey sandstone dressings, and it incorporates a timber-framed core. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, and the overall shape of the house is U-plan, with two storeys and an attic.

The exterior features a chamfered stone plinth and parapeted gables that have stone kneelers and copings. There are two large external stacks made of dressed stone and brick, which have chamfered offsets. The northeast front, which serves as the entrance, has three gables and is divided into three bays, with a recessed central section. The windows are late 20th-century four-light wooden mullioned and transomed designs, with a central five-light window on the first floor and two-light casements in the attic. A central flat-roofed porch, also from the late 20th century, has a dentil brick cornice and a parapet with reused moulded stone coping. The porch is flanked by small ground-floor windows and features glazed doors.

At the rear, there is a parapeted gable only on the central projecting bay. A ground-floor wooden cross window on the right has 17th-century chamfered sandstone reveals and shows evidence of a former stone mullion. Inside, the entrance hall has chamfered ceiling beams and a moulded beam with broach stops. A Neo-Jacobean staircase was introduced in the late 20th century. The right-hand ground-floor room features a moulded and chamfered cross-beamed ceiling and a stone fireplace with a moulded Tudor arch. The left-hand ground-floor room retains remnants of former timber framing, including evidence of a former jetty at the front, with a chamfered jowl post and bracket, as well as a first-floor wall plate. The roof has not been inspected.

The left-hand wing of the house was likely originally timber framed and jettied at the front but appears to have been rebuilt in brick after the house was extended to the northwest, as indicated by differences in detail such as the absence of a plinth or quoins on the front. The brickwork is a racing onto rubblestone. The house previously featured a 17th-century nine-light double-chamfered wooden mullioned and transomed window, which was removed in the late 20th century.
