Description

The Old Hall is a former vicarage, now a house, dating from around 1700. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped plain tile roof. The building has a U-shaped plan, with the rear infilled likely in the early to mid-18th century. It stands two storeys tall with an attic. The exterior includes painted rendered chamfered quoins, a painted rendered plat band, and a moulded wooden dentil eaves cornice. There are three flat-topped dormers with moulded wooden-framed two-light casements, and a brick ridge stack on each wing at the rear.

The façade consists of six bays with glazing bar sashes that have shaped gauged heads, moulded cills, and narrow rectangular panels beneath the first-floor windows. The central door, dating from around 1700, features ten raised and fielded panels with L-hinges on the inside, surrounded by a moulded architrave. The porch, likely from the mid-to-late 18th century, has unfluted Doric columns and pilasters supporting a frieze and cornice.

On the left-hand return front, there are five bays with central narrow glazing bar sashes on each floor, some bays have blind windows, and others are blank. A late 19th or early 20th-century hipped-roofed canted bay is located to the right. The rear wings have stone-coped parapeted gables.

Inside, the entrance hall features flagged flooring, and there is a dog-leg staircase from around 1700 that rises to the attic, complete with a closed string, turned balusters, panelled square newel posts, and a moulded handrail. The windows and doors have reeded architraves, and there are panelled shutters on the windows. A bolection moulded fireplace surround from around 1700 is present, along with a late 18th or early 19th-century cast iron grate on the first floor. The ground floor front room to the left has a marble fireplace surround from around 1830-1840. The Old Hall is listed as Grade II* for its unaltered state and high-quality detailing, representing an early 18th-century house.
