Description
Tye Hall is a building from the mid-17th century that was extended by a parallel rear range in the late 18th century, with a new facade added to the west front. It features a timber frame with a brick facade and extension, topped with plain tile roofs, and has a baffle-entry plan.
The west front has a three-window range and is two storeys high. It features a central half-glazed door from the late 20th century, flanked by a three-light late 20th-century casement window on either side, all under segmental arches. The first floor has three late 20th-century three-light casements. There is a dentil cornice and a half-hipped roof with a ridge stack positioned to the right of centre.
The late 18th-century cast extension is a five-window range, also two storeys high. It is plastered, colourwashed, and scored into panels. The central lean-to porch from the 20th century has a three-light casement window to the east, a two-light casement to the north, and a door to the south return. The ground floor features two three-light casements from 1999 to the left of the porch, along with two two-light and one single-light early 19th-century casements to the right. The first floor has five mid-20th-century metal casements of various sizes, and the roof is half-hipped.
The north and south gables of the front range expose timber framing, including sole plates and middle rails. The north gable has one late 20th-century three-light casement on each floor, while the south gable features one late 20th-century three-light casement on the first floor and a late 20th-century conservatory attached. The south gable of the rear range has a rebuilt external stack. The north gables of both ranges have a mid-20th-century lean-to extension, which is lit through a late 20th-century two-light casement and has a half-glazed door to the west.
Inside, the timber frame of the rear wall of the 17th-century range is exposed, featuring late 18th-century brick nogging and openings for doorways. An arched passageway through the stack was opened in the late 18th century and blocked in 1999. The rear range has chamfered bridging beams and joists. The north room of the front range reuses a mid-16th-century double wave-moulded bridging beam with truncated stops and has a wide inglenook fireplace. The south room features mid-17th-century small-framed panelling on the east and west walls, along with one mid-17th-century six-panel door in the cast wall and a rebuilt fireplace under a segmental arch. The first floor has not been inspected.
