Description
Pershall Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the mid-17th century or earlier, with alterations and additions made in the 18th, 19th, and late 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain blue tile roof with plain gables. The building has tall brick ridge stacks that have corbelled oversailing courses and crested square clay pots. The farmhouse is arranged in an L-shaped layout, with the oldest part located to the west and a later crosswing at the east end.
The south elevation consists of two storeys and three bays, with a doorway positioned near the off-centre stack towards the east end. The entrance features a plank door set beneath a segmental brick arch. To the east of the doorway are three light windows, each with three panes, with the ground floor openings beneath segmental arches. The first floor has a head below a dentilled eaves band. There is a small fire window to the west of the door, followed by stacked windows in the centre bay, and a single three-light casement beneath a segmental arch in the west end bay. The west gable is rendered and includes a two-light metal casement on the first floor.
At the rear, there is a single-storey, single-bay extension that encloses the doorway into the centre bay. The taller crosswing at the east end has been recently remodelled and extended in 1993, featuring stacked segmental arch-headed window openings with non-traditional 20th-century window frames on both bays of the east elevation.
Inside the earlier range, there are back-to-back hearths serving the centre and eastern bays, with the eastern bay featuring a timber hearth beam. The rooms with hearths have exposed spine beams, and cruck trusses are present in the partition walls between the east and centre bays, as well as between the centre and west bays. The trusses have been cut back at ground floor level, and the westernmost truss retains a collar beam.
