Kinvaston Hall Farmhouse

The farmhouse dates to the early 16th century, with substantial internal remodelling in the late 17th century and later alterations. Originally built of timber frame, the walls are now red brick with a plain tile roof. Brick external stacks are also present. The original building was a two-bay open hall, now floored, running east-west and facing north, with two-bay crosswings projecting north, aligned north-south, and a rear wing aligned north-south. The main hall range is two storeys high, with toothed eaves, flanked by gabled crosswings of two storeys and an attic. The facade has a 1:2:1 bay arrangement with casement windows, those on the ground floor and first floors of the wings having segmental heads. A central door has six panels and a bracketed hood.

Inside the hall range, a late 17th-century L-shaped staircase is located immediately east of the front door. There is also late 17th-century oak panelling on the first floor, forming partition walls with an upper balustrade and carved frieze. The hall features a massive arch braced roof truss with a cambered and chamfered tie beam. The roof trusses at each end of the hall range have three vertical struts between the tie beam and collar, with curved wind braces throughout the building.

The east wing has a timber-framed partition of square panels. The southern ground floor room has stop-chamfered spine beams and joists, with remnants of a former staircase, and a fireplace in the northeast corner. The northern ground floor room similarly has stop-chamfered spine beams and a fireplace in the southeast corner. The southern first floor room has 17th-century wall panelling and a blocked doorway with a cambered head in the north wall, which formerly led to the northern room, now accessed at first floor level via a 17th-century panelled door.

In the west wing, the walls of the northern ground floor room are fully covered in oak panelling, featuring a door in the southwest corner which formerly led to the southern room, and a cupboard in the southeast corner. On the first floor, a blocked doorway with a cambered head formerly linked the northern and southern rooms.
