Description

Church Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century. It is timber framed, roughcast rendered, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The building has a double-range plan facing southwest, with two internal stacks symmetrically placed between the ranges. There is a single-storey lean-to extension from the 19th or early 20th century on the left side of the rear range, which is roofed with asbestos tiles. Additionally, there is a 19th-century single-storey service range at the rear left, constructed of red brick.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics. On the ground floor, there is a 19th or early 20th-century square bay window with casements and a hipped roof, along with one blocked window. The first floor features two early 19th-century tripartite sash windows, originally with four-12-four lights; the outer sashes of the left window have been altered in the 20th century to two lights each. There is also a central early 19th-century sash window with 12 lights and a central early 19th-century door with four fielded panels and two flush panels. This door is set in a doorcase with a dentilled and moulded open pediment on carved scrolled brackets, and it has a fanlight with slender radial and scrolled tracery made of cast iron. A 20th-century rustic porch has been added.

Both ranges have roofs that are half-hipped at both ends. The right elevation, which faces London Road, has a ground floor featuring a 20th-century French window and an early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights made of crown glass. On the first floor, there is another early 19th-century sash window with 12 lights, and in the attic storey, there are two semi-circular lights with radial tracery. The left return retains one early 19th-century sash window with 12 lights. Inside, the ground floor has axial beams, while the first floor has transverse beams, all boxed in. The rear service range still contains the entrance and iron door of a large bread oven, although the main part of the oven has been demolished.
