Description

Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse, approximately one third of which has been converted into a barn and garage. It dates from around 1600 and has been altered over time. The building is constructed of brick, partly colourwashed, and features a pantile roof. It stands two storeys tall with an attic. The facade is partly made of colourwashed brick in English bond and partly rebuilt in 20th-century brickwork, which may have replaced a timber frame. The modern facade includes three 20th-century windows and two re-used 18th-century three-light mullion and transom windows with metal casements and some leaded glazing. The front door is topped with a flat concrete hood supported by brackets, and the eaves have shaped sprockets.

The early facade originally had only two windows next to the rebuilt section: one modern two-light casement with glazing bars and one mullion and transom window above it with leaded glazing. The rear facade features a later lean-to outshut opposite the rebuilt front, with original brickwork showing black header diapering and a polygonal angle buttress. There is evidence of some original openings with chamfered reveals. The ground floor includes a cart entrance and two 19th-century sash windows above. The north gable end has a panelled door, a sash window in the gable, and signs of a former stack. There is one roughly central stack with a rebuilt shaft located just to the facade side of the ridge, as well as one stack on the south gable end.
