Old Hall Farm House

Old Hall Farm House is a 16th-century farm house that represents a fragment of a former hall, with later alterations and additions. It has two storeys and attics, and features an east-west crosswing with a cellar and attics. The building is constructed primarily of red brick, with diapering and red and black pantiles.

The west elevation is characterized by sash windows with glazing bars, set within segmental brick arches, and flat arches of gauged bricks. The western crosswing has a stone parapet gable with moulded kneelers, finials, and two decorated brick chimneystacks. The south elevation of the crosswing includes two blocked cellar windows, 20th-century French casements, and two sash windows with glazing bars flanking a dummy sash window at the first floor. The east elevation reveals a crosswing gable with stacks and two terracotta chimney shafts, flanked by two blocked windows with double reveals. A staircase tower features two blocked windows with hood moulds and inside hollow chamfer mullions. The main wing has triple decorated brick shafts on an external stack. The northern wing is now single-storied, displaying 17th-century brickwork.

The cellar contains three niches with four-centred arches, alongside a blocked eastern door opening. The hall has a panelled ceiling divided by beams with two large roll mouldings integrated into the beams. The parlour incorporates 18th-century panelling and a moulded cornice, alongside an earlier spine beam with large hollow chamfers also integrated into the cornice. A hardwood newel stair is present, along with 16th and 17th-century oak panelling and 18th-century pine panelling within a chamber above the hall. The attic contains a partition of 17th-century oak panelling. The roof is a double oak structure over both wings, featuring two sets of staggered butt purlins and wind braces.

A 16th-century brick garden wall to the south encloses the garden, with an eastern section featuring a plinth and piers. The house was formerly the residence of Major General Philip Skippon, Commander of Parliamentary Forces at the Battle of Naseby. A rear passage possesses an oak lintel with a shield facing the floor, inscribed with the date 1556.
