Description
The outbuildings located about 5 meters to the east of Arden Hall are a former house dating from the 15th century. They are timber framed and rendered, topped with a gabled plain tile roof. The structure is one storey with an attic. The west elevation shows traces of herringbone pargeting in panels, featuring a central boarded door and a six-light fixed window. The south elevation includes a short gabled extension made of red English bond brickwork, also with a plain tile roof and an ivy-clad stack. Adjacent to this is a single-storey brick oven with a gabled plain tile roof. Connected to the southeast corner is a 19th-century range of sheds built from red and brown brick, again with a gabled plain tile roof.
The north elevation features a boarded loft door, two four-light fixed windows, and a 20th-century door. The end elevation displays traces of pargeting and a reduced 19th-century stack. Inside, there is a two-bay open hall that shows heavy soot blackening, with an 'in-line' parlour or solar featuring interrupted tie beam construction. The hall has a central truss with unjowled posts, a cambered tie beam, and hallow chamfered braces with a cross-quadrate crown post. Both arched door heads are largely intact, and remnants of the large hall windows can still be seen. The service end is now missing and may have been a pre-existing building, as there is no brace to the crown post on that side. The solar has a pair of windows below the upper tie beam, which have been altered, and the floor has been replaced at a higher level. The walls are supported by substantial external curved wall braces. Inside, there is a hooded fireplace at the south end, which includes an oven with an iron door behind it.
