Description
Reymerston Old Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from 1620, which may refer to the brick facing and the addition of stacks. The main block is late Medieval, with a 17th-century roof and extensions. It has a timber frame with limewashed brick facing on the front and a side addition with a returned brick gable end, topped with plain tile roofs. The building is arranged in an L shape due to a lower side addition.
The main block has two storeys and an attic, with a brick north facade that either faces or replaces the timber frame. The design is roughly symmetrical, featuring a single-storey gabled porch that retains a double-ovolo moulded door frame and door, complete with moulded cover strips and some contemporary ironwork. The gable has a kneeler and peak finials, along with 18th-century straight hoods on brackets above the doorway and tympanum grotesque. A family crest is displayed on the peak finial.
Massive external stacks are located on either side of the porch, each with octagonal shafts. The ground floor has three small windows with glazing bars, while the first floor features three tall 18th-century two-light mullion and transom windows (one of which is blind) with metal casements, some of which retain leaded glazing and have straight hoods on brackets. A similar hood is placed above the centrally located date plaque.
On the side and rear, there are two 18th-century three-light mullion and transom windows with metal casements on the ground floor, one leaded two-light gable window, and two 19th-century two-light mullion and transom windows on the first floor. Some 19th-century moulded wooden rectangular hood moulds are still visible. The side addition is likely contemporary with the main block's refacing, featuring a returned brick north gable with an external stack and two octagonal shafts that have been substantially rebuilt in Flemish bond. There are two three-light windows with metal casements on the west side and modern doors. A later lean-to with a catslide roof is also present.
