Chip Hall

Chip Hall is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with extensions added in the 18th century. It has a timber frame that is plastered and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house features three bays facing approximately east, with a central stack that creates a lobby entrance.

At the rear, there is an 18th-century extension built of red brick in Flemish bond, which has two parallel half-hipped gambrel roofs and is one storey high with attics. There is also a small single-storey extension to the left, made of red brick and roofed with red clay pantiles. To the left of the main block, there is an 18th or 19th-century extension that is one storey high, featuring an end stack that was originally external but has since been enclosed by small extensions at each corner. Additionally, there is a small 20th-century extension at the rear with a flat roof.

The house has two storeys with attics. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century tripartite sash windows. The first floor includes one early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights, some of which are made of crown glass, one 20th-century replacement sash, and a central early 19th-century sash window with 12 lights and a semi-circular head. The entrance features a fielded six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, set in a much-altered pedimented porch. The roof is half-hipped.

The left extension displays exposed studding and 20th-century herringbone brick nogging, with one 20th-century sash window and another in a flat-roofed dormer. At the rear, there is a dentilled course below the eaves of the half-hipped brick extensions. Inside, the left ground floor room has a chamfered transverse beam with lamb's tongue stops and a cast iron ducknest grate dating from around 1800. There are two 18th-century pine panelled doors with HL hinges. Above the first floor, there are chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, and the rear wallplate features a face-halved and bladed scarf joint. The roof structure includes clasped purlins.
