Description
Old Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with re-facing and extensions added in the 18th century. The main block is timber framed and faced with brick, while there is a brick extension and pantile roofs. The building is arranged in a T-plan due to the 18th-century rear extension and consists of two storeys with an attic and cellar.
The symmetrical facade is divided into three bays by plain giant pilasters. It features five bays of 19th-century sash windows with vertical glazing bars set beneath skewback arches. The entrance has a 20th-century two-leaf raised and fielded panelled door, framed by an 18th-century brick doorcase with a pair of Roman Doric pilasters supporting an entablature with a moulded brick cornice. Additional decorative elements include moulded brick eaves brackets and lion's head ogee gutters. There is an off-centre axial stack topped with an arcaded chimney shaft, and the north gable end has a truncated external stack that conceals a pair of lunette windows in the gable. The gable also features four 19th-century sash windows and tumbling-in.
Inside, several original features remain, including a plain-chamfered mullion window, some fireplaces, and chamfered beams. There is also some 18th-century raised and fielded panelling and an 18th-century collar and butt-purlin roof. The farmhouse is situated on a moated site.
