Tolldish Hall And Toldish Hall Cottage

Tolldish Hall and Tolldish Hall Cottage is a house that has been converted into a farmhouse and flat. It dates back to the 16th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The exterior features colourwashed plaster over timber framing with lath and plaster infill, set on a sandstone plinth. The roof is covered with old plain tiles, and the ridge stack and right end stack are made of old thin bricks, with some parts replaced by 20th-century brick.

The building has a T-plan layout with a cross-wing on the left, a two-storey porch, and outshuts at the rear. It stands two storeys high and has a six-window range. The main range includes a central porch with a moulded painted wood doorway, and the return sides have openings, with a screen of turned balusters on the right. Inside, there is exposed framing and seating, along with an old ledged and battened door. Above the porch, there is an old canted projecting window on a shaped bracket, with a gable above it. The windows include a three-light lead-latticed casement with side lights that contain some old glass, as well as late 20th-century casements and other windows.

On the left side, there are four-light casements, and a smaller first-floor window features a narrower old sill and bracket. The right side has ground floor windows with two- and three-light casements, while the first floor has an old two-light casement. An adjoining four-light casement has an old sill and bracket, with a projecting gable above. A small two-storey projection on the right has a blank ground floor made of colourwashed brick, and the first floor has a window similar to that of the porch, though it is boarded over and colourwashed.

The cross-wing includes a top-hung window for the ground floor flat and a four-light casement. The right return side features a massive stack embedded in the wall and an arched built-in dog kennel. At the rear, there is a large outshut on the left, which was extended in the 19th century, and the cross-wing has an outshut addition. The centre has an old lead-latticed first-floor casement.

Inside, the exposed framing continues, and one room in the cross-wing has a panelled wall. The room to the left of the porch, which was formerly a hall, features an ogee stop-chamfered beam and a large full-height sandstone fireplace with a moulded opening and cornice. The room to the right has an open fireplace that has been partly altered, featuring an ogee stop-chamfered bressumer. There are also some old plank doors and a 19th-century straight-flight staircase.
