Old Hall Farmhouse

Old Hall Farmhouse is an 18th-century house, altered in the 19th century. It was formerly 'The Ship Ahoy' public house and is shown as Old Hall on Chapman and Andre’s map of 1777. The house is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with a main roof of handmade red clay tiles and a rear outshut roofed with red clay pantiles. The building has a single-span range facing south, with two axial stacks and a full-length rear outshut. A 19th-century external stack is located at the left end, with a small plastered lean-to extension roofed with red clay ‘Roman’ tiles. There is a garage at the right end. The house is one storey with attics. The front has five 20th-century casement windows and five more in gabled dormers, alongside two 20th-century doors. The roof is gambrel, half-hipped at both ends. Brick drip moulds are above the doors and ground-floor windows. There is a dentilled course below the eaves at the front and at the ends.
