Description
Old Hall Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building located on Little Horkesley School Road. It dates back to the 16th century and possibly earlier, representing a medieval complex that is aligned east to west and features various building phases. The structure has an H-plan layout with a change in height at the east end of the hall range.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, constructed from timber framing and plaster, with a ridged roof covered in peg tiles. The north elevation includes a mix of modern casement windows and a door. To the west, there is an extension with a north lean-to, made of painted red brick in Flemish bond. A full-height stair tower on the north side is also plastered. The building features complex chimneys with four shafts. Inside the stair tower, the staircase is adorned with plain Doric balusters.
The south front of the farmhouse has wide eaves and two hipped dormers, each containing two 15-pane leaded casements. On the first storey, which dates to around 1700, there is a range of five sash windows with glazing bars and exposed boxes. The door at the east end has a flat hood without brackets. Additionally, there is a range of four wooden casements from around 1900, with brick arches above and sliding panels at the top and bottom.
