Description

Old Hall Farm House is a manor house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of diapered red brick and features a thatched roof. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two storeys high, originally including attics, with single storey out-shuts at the rear.

The east-west wing has two windows on the south side, along with a blocked entrance door to the left, which has a brick pediment above it. To the right, there is an inserted three-light casement window, also with a brick pediment. A sash window with glazing bars is located at the first floor level, with a three-light casement featuring a wrought iron light to the right. There is evidence of a former window and rebuilding at the right-hand end.

On the east gable, there is a five-light truncated window at ground floor level, a four-light truncated window at first floor level, both featuring ovolo moulded oak mullions, and a blocked attic window, all with moulded brick hood moulds. The north facade includes a 19th-century door and casements, with a six-panel part-glazed door to the right that has a rendered brick pediment. There is a sash window to the right, and two sash windows at first floor level with glazing bars, which were inserted into earlier blocked openings.

The south wing's gable wall has large blocked brick openings at ground, first, and attic floor levels, along with later casement windows that have glazing bars and evidence of rendered quoining. There is a blocked six-light oak mullion and transom window on the east side at ground floor level, adjacent to an inserted four-panel door with a flat brick arch. A blocked window is located under the eaves above. The east gable features a parapet with a moulded brick kneeler, while the west gable is stepped and has moulded brick kneelers, along with an internal stack that has twin moulded brick polygonal shafts. An external stack is present on the west wall of the south wing, featuring a 19th-century stack. The south gable has polygonal buttresses with finials and string courses, and the gable is stepped with a peak finial. The interior is primarily from the 19th century.
