Description

Old Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century and later. It features a timber frame that is faced with colourwashed brick, along with a brick porch and pantile roofs. The southern half of the house is likely from the 16th century but was heightened, widened, and re-roofed in the 17th century to align with a contemporary extension. The building has two storeys with attics.

The facade includes a central two-storey porch from around 1700, which has a three-centred, ovolo-moulded, arched entrance, an ovolo-moulded platband, and an original first-floor three-light mullion and transom window beneath a skewback arch with a three-centred soffit. The gable is finely designed with a curvilinear shape and a moulded brick finial, featuring an oval medallion and a pair of oval side windows. The windows vary, with two 18th-century three-light mullion windows and a similar window with a transom on the ground floor. Other windows on the facade date from the 19th and 20th centuries. There is one blocked three-light diamond mullion window in the north gable and two blocked ovolo-moulded mullion windows on the west side. The house has a central axial stack with rebuilt angled shafts and a later extension at the rear.

Inside, the timber frame is largely intact, supporting a butt-purlin roof with collars and wind bracing. There is an original winding stair at the north gable-end, some 17th-century plank doors, one of which has cock's head hinges, and one fireplace with an early 18th-century bolection moulded surround. The alterations made to heighten and widen the original house are evident from the large curved brackets visible from within the later lean-to extension.
