Description
Owl’s Hall is a house dating from the 18th century, altered in the 20th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The building has a rectangular plan, facing north, with an axial stack located near the left end. A single-storey lean-to extension is positioned behind the left end, roofed with red clay ‘Roman’ tiles. A 20th-century external stack is at the right end, beyond which there is another single-storey extension. The house is one storey high with attics. The ground floor has three 20th-century casement windows, and there are three more windows in gabled dormers. A four-panel door is topped with a 20th-century dentilled hood. The frame is of pegged hardwood. Inside, there are chamfered transverse beams with run-out stops. The building was formerly divided into three cottages, which were converted back into a single house in the 20th century. It is included on the list for group value.
