Description
Hall Gates Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with later additions from the 19th century. The original part is built from coursed and dressed squared rubble, while the later section is made of red brick. It has a tiled roof with verge parapets supported by shaped corbelled kneelers on the 17th-century section, and brick end stacks, with a zig-zag shape on the right side.
The building consists of two parts: a low 17th-century range that has a single storey and an attic, featuring three windows to the right. This range includes two sets of four-light chamfer-mullion windows with cavetto labels on the ground floor and half-dormers above, which have been reduced to two lights at the eaves with a pent roof over. These windows may have originally been intended to be under thatch. There is a small central light on the first floor and a boarded door under a heavy lintel to the right. To the left, there is a taller 19th-century wing with a two-casement window and a central entrance.
At the rear, there are further 17th-century chamfer-mullioned two-light windows arranged in pairs, with the first-floor windows set closer together and cavetto labels on the ground floor. Inside, the farmhouse has a two-room plan featuring a stone heck screen to the smokebay, an inserted stack with a heavily-coved lintel, and a window at the rear. The central division is timber-framed with square framing and includes a 17th-century panelled door at the rear.
