Description
Hall Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse with 19th-century alterations and extensions. It is constructed with a timber frame, painted render or brick infill, a brick plinth, stone rubble, and brick. The roof is tiled. A central brick stack features four spurred shafts and an ornamental capping, with a projecting brick eaves stack to the rear. The original layout was a range and a cross wing, with a 19th-century brick extension and rear lean-to additions.
The south front has restored and renewed square framing, three panels high per floor, with decorative inset raking studs at the first floor. There are single 19th-century wood mullioned windows to each floor, and a three-light casement in the attic of the cross wing to the left. The main range to the right features one 19th-century wood mullion and transom window to each floor. The left-hand return gable has square framing with bracing, and a single first-floor casement, largely obscured by a single-storey and attic projecting brick gabled wing. This wing was rebuilt in the mid-19th century with banded polychrome brick, segmental-arched window openings at ground floor, and three dormers above, with lattice leading. An old nail-studded boarded door is positioned to the right. The right-hand return gable was rebuilt in the 19th century brick with two casements and a single casement at the attic and ground floor, all with brick segmental arches.
The rear is mostly covered by brick and stone, with a continuous, tile-roofed lean-to, but the cross wing gable framing is exposed above the first-floor window level. The gable-end truss features a part-jettied straight tie beam with two collars, twin raking struts over, and four vertical struts framing a two-light casement between. Below are three vertical struts flanking panels with convex struts forming a star pattern. The tie beam has a double-ovolo chamfer-moulding soffit with stops for an oriel window. A 19th-century mullion and transom replacement window is flanked by square framing with inset raking studs forming a herringbone pattern. A three-light casement is inset to the left, abutting a framed outshut.
The interior features ceiling beams with ribbed chamfered edging, with the ribbing continuing along outward-turning chamfered stops at the beam ends.
