Cornish Hall Farmhouse

Cornish Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The main structure consists of four bays facing south, built in the mid-16th century, featuring an axial stack located in the second bay from the right end. To the left, the house was extended by one short bay around 1600. There is also a wing extending forward by two bays from the left end, which dates to the same period and includes an internal stack at the junction, along with a shorter rear extension, creating an irregular T-plan. A single-storey lean-to extension is located at the rear of the main range. The farmhouse stands two storeys high and has a three-window range of 20th-century casements, with a 20th-century door set in a gabled porch.

The main stack features two chamfered recessed panels and four octagonal shafts with moulded bases. The roof of the left wing is hipped at the front and has plaster coving below the eaves, dating from the 18th century. At the left end of the main range, there are ovolo-moulded bargeboards from around 1600. The right gable contains a three-light window from the 18th century, which has had its casement replaced.

Inside the main range, there are chamfered axial and transverse beams, chamfered joists of horizontal section, and one transverse beam to the left of the stack featuring lamb's-tongue-and-bar stops. Some original floorboards, jowled posts, close studding, and a clasped purlin roof with arched wind-bracing are present, including some re-used medieval rafters. A moulded oak door can also be found. The left wing has exposed close studding in the right wall, along with an original window that has four ovolo mullions. It features joists of horizontal section, some original oak panelling, and 18th-century pine panelling, as well as a clasped purlin roof. The farmhouse is situated on a moated site.
