Hall Farmhouse

Hall Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse located on Mundesley Road, Trunch. It is constructed of whole and cut flint with brick dressings and has thatched roofs. The farmhouse has a T-shaped plan.

The west facade is two stories high and features a central, two-story gabled porch entered through a semi-circular arch. A datestone bearing the inscription "1652" is located above the arch. The porch intrudes into a previously blocked horizontal window, and the inner door has quadrant moulded jambs terminating in bar stops. To the left of the porch is a six-light, ovolo-moulded cross casement. Quoins on the right suggest a similar window formerly existed there; surviving timberwork from this window is present inside. The first floor has a single six-light mullioned casement to the left and a three-light 18th-century casement to the right, set within a reduced opening. The gabled roof has a northern internal stack with a rectangular plinth and base, carrying three bell-shaped diamond flues with star tops. A similar ridge stack is located right of centre; both are from the 16th century. The gable heads have kneelers. A later two-story extension obscures the north gable wall. The south gable shows a blocked ground-floor mullioned window still visible behind later brickwork. The first floor has mullioned casements blocked with two 17th-century two-light cross casements, which are themselves now blocked behind the mullions.

A two-story cross wing extends from the east side, flush with the north gable wall. On the east side of the main range are three 16th-century mullioned casements, unevenly spaced: two of two ovolo-moulded lights, and one of five ovolo-moulded lights. The cross wing is gabled and lit through later casements.

The interior includes a ground-floor south room with bridging beams featuring quadrant mouldings and barred tongue stops. Close-studded timber partition walls are also present. A 16th-century half-imperial staircase has turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and newels. First-floor door jambs are chamfered and tongue stopped, and numerous tongue-stopped bridging beams remain. The roof structure comprises tie beams, principals, two tiers of butt purlins, collars, and curved wind bracing. Secondary rafters are pegged into both tiers of purlins. The cross wing roof is similar but with straight wind bracing. Two four-centred fireplaces survive, featuring expanding pilasters supporting a stud and dentil frieze.
