Duck Hall Farm

Duck Hall Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house. It dates back to the late 15th century and was originally an open hall house. The north wing was added in the early 19th century, and the building received a mid-19th century brick casing and tile hanging. The structure features a timber frame resting on a brick sill, with the upper floor adorned with red tile hanging and scalloped tiled bands. The roofs are steep and covered with old red tiles.

The farmhouse is 1½ storeys high and consists of three cells with a cross-passage, facing south. It has two unequal gables on the west side that face the road. There is a matching 19th-century parallel extension at the rear northwest, which includes a catslide outshut at the northeast of the main range. The south front is irregular, featuring a gabled dormer window in the middle bay that rises through the eaves, along with similar three-light casement windows below. A door on the right leads into the cross-passage and is accessed by three steps. To the right of the door is a small two-light Yorkshire sliding casement window. A large side chimney for the parlour rises through the lower part of the roof slope on the left side.

The west front has a rendered ground floor, decorative tile hanging, and two windows on each floor, with a door in the middle. The windows are three-light casements, and the entrance features a four-panel, half-glazed door beneath a lean-to tiled hood supported by brackets. Inside, the cross-passage has been removed from the eastern service bay, which retains its original upper floor structure that is lower than the rest, with access via a steep ladder in the southeast corner leading to a room above. The other two bays had floors inserted in the 16th century, supported by chamfered axial beams. The middle bay includes a large rear wall fireplace and chimney, with a winding stair beside it on the west. The front wall chimney for the west bay has two flues serving the parlour and the chamber above it. This layout may represent a 16th-century adaptation of a former two-bay open hall with a storeyed service end, which was common in this area. The building features curved braces supporting heavy cambered tie-beams, clasped-purlin roofs with collars and queen struts, wattle and daub partition panels, and ledged plank doors with iron hooks and bands. The early 19th-century northern extension added two more heated rooms and a new staircase.
