Pulley Hall

A farmhouse, now a house, likely dating from the mid to late 16th century, with later additions and alterations. The building is timber-framed with brick infill, which is largely roughcast, and includes painted brick additions, all under plain tile roofs. The original core is probably the two-bay block at the northwest corner. A recessed two-bay cross-wing was added to the left, followed by a parallel range behind. A single-bay addition was then constructed to the left of the cross-wing, which was later encased in brick, with the eaves raised and a further addition made to its left. The house is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic; the brick additions feature a dentilled eaves cornice. The timber framing is now mostly hidden, except for projecting purlin ends to the front gable of the cross-wing and the gable end of the right-hand section, which also has a jetty to the attic supported by carved corner brackets. The windows are irregular in arrangement, with one casement window on each floor in each section, all dating from the late 19th or 20th century. The front entrance is immediately to the left of the cross-wing, featuring a six-panel door (with glazed upper panels) under a late 20th-century gabled timber porch. A prominent brown brick valley stack is located at the left-hand end of the right-hand section. The interior retains timber framing with square panels, partially exposed throughout. The ground floor of the right-hand section has a chamfered cross beam with straight-cut stops and heavy joists. The roof of the earliest part displays cambered collar and tie beam trusses with straight wind braces.
