Smallburgh Old Hall

House. The origins of Smallburgh Old Hall date to the early 16th century, with 18th-century additions and a later re-facing of the front in the early 19th century. The building was significantly altered between 1982 and 1983. It is constructed of brick and flint, with plain tile roofs.

To the north is a two-story, early 16th-century house of square plan, built on a brick plinth. The east front has been altered by the addition of a door and two casement windows on each floor in 1982, with the spaces between windows rebuilt in stock brick. Some original 16th-century brickwork remains. The gabled roof has moulded brick kneelers. An internal gable end stack to the north has been rebuilt. The north gable wall has two blocked windows on each floor. The west side features a long horizontal window opening, now blocked and fitted with a 20th-century casement.

A two-story, 18th-century extension to the south was re-faced to match the east facade in the early 19th century. This facade is in three bays, with a central 20th-century half-glazed door in a timber doorcase under a leaded hood. The windows are a mix of sashes and casements of varying sizes. A dentil eaves cornice sits below a gabled, hipped roof to the north. A gabled passage connects this block to the 16th-century section at attic level.

The interior has been extensively altered. A 16th-century cellar, accessed through a double chamfered brick arch from the interior of the 18th-century wing, contains arched candle niches in each wall, one of which has been converted into a cupboard. The cellar also features a roll and sunk hollow bridging beam, a kitchen in the lower room, and a large fireplace with an 18th-century hob. A winder staircase by the stack is now blocked at ceiling level, though the newel post rises to the attic.
