Description

Old Hall Farmhouse is a late 16th century farmhouse that has undergone significant alterations. It is constructed of red brick and features a steeply-pitched thatched roof, with two and three storeys. The building has an off-centre three-storey porch that includes octagonal angle piers and moulded brick finials. The doorway is pedimented and has a four-centred arch under a square head, with a rose motif in the spandrels. Above the doorway is a moulded plasterwork decorative panel in the tympanum, flanked by fluted pilasters with reeded bases on pedestals; the pilaster pinnacles have been rebuilt in later brick.

On the first floor, there is a four-light casement window set in a quadrant-moulded and pedimented opening. The tympanum of the pediment features shields flanked by mermaids in plaster relief. Above a moulded brick string course, there is another four-light casement window with a brick drip mould. The rest of the house has been much altered, with windows generally being three and four-light casements, two of which have segmental heads. There is one blocked opening at first floor level with chamfered brick reveals, and a later external stack on the north side of the porch.

The gables are parapeted, with internal stacks; the north gable has moulded brick finials, while the south gable is rendered. On the west side, opposite the porch, there is a corresponding three-storey projection; the upper window is blocked but retains chamfered reveals and remnants of stucco 'ashlar' dressings. This gable is also parapeted and coped, featuring moulded brick finials. The lower windows on this side are partly obscured by a later pantiled lean-to, and there are 20th-century lean-tos on the west side, along with a two-storey gabled wing at the southwest corner.
