Description
Hall Farm House is a house, originally partly a gatehouse, dating from around 1300, with significant alterations and additions in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone, timber frame with rendered infill, and red brick in part, with a plain-tile roof. The roof has brick ridge, end, and lateral stacks, two of which are stone below the flues.
The main range was originally the gatehouse to the former hall (associated barns are located to the west of Hall Farm House), and is of three storeys. It has a two-window front with two-light casement windows. A double-leaved, part-glazed door is located to the left, within a gabled open porch with a window above. These features are within brick and stone walling which conceals the wide, slightly pointed arch of the original gateway, which retains large blocks to its jambs and voussoirs. A single-light casement and a further two-light window are located just below eaves level. The building has massive quoins.
A two-storey brick wing, dating from the 18th century and earlier, adjoins the main range, with a 19th-century square bay and pentice and a two-light casement above. A rendered section has twin-span windows. A single-storey and loft apple room extension, constructed of brick and stone, is on the right end. To the rear are a 19th-century wing and a 17th-century wing of timber framing in square panels, two storeys and attic in height, with further single-storey extensions. The rear of the main range has a first-floor single-light stone-framed window, and a similar window on the gable behind the apple room, below which are the remains of a probable stone spiral stair.
Inside, both gateway arches remain, the front one with three iron spindles for gate fittings. To the left, a stone cellar retains a remnant of a spiral stair. A massive chamfered beam is present in the sitting room. The rear wing has ogee-stop-chamfered beams and a large open fireplace in the kitchen. Plank doors and a double-purlin roof are found in the apple room. Stone walling is visible in a room to the right of the entrance, and above it are possible remains of a spiral stair and a doorway, which now provides access to the apple room.
