Range Of Farm Buildings East Of Hall Farmhouse Comprising Barn, Machinery Shed With Turbine House, Goathouse With Granary

A range of farm buildings east of Hall Farmhouse, dating back to approximately 1842, comprises a barn, a machinery shed with a turbine house, and a goathouse with a granary. The barn is constructed of uncoursed flint with brick dressings, and has a tarred slate roof, with a long lean-to addition to the southwest featuring animal sheds and open-sided shelters covered with pantiles. The southeast facade has four steads, with the first and third featuring large segmental arched openings framed by black glazed bricks; a ventilation slit sits between them. The fourth stead projects forward with a hipped roof, a doorway measuring approximately 2 by 2.4 meters under a segmental arch, a wide opening above, two ventilation slits, and rounded angles of header bond. Cast iron glazing bar windows are present in a lower addition to the right. Brick arches mark the cartshed and granary to the left. A further addition to the northeast, also with a hipped roof, has a canted northeast end with bullnosed brick dressings, a doorway around 2 by 2.4 meters wide with sliding doors and a segmental arch, and ventilation slits with shuttered openings above. The barn’s interior features a king post roof.

The attached machinery shed and turbine house were built around 1852, in the same flint and brick style with a tarred slate roof. The machinery shed has four openings to both the southwest and northeast facades, with two on the southwest side blank and infilled with pebble flint. Inside, original features remain, including a driving shaft, wheels, and a belt connected to the turbine house. The turbine house forms a cross wing to the southeast with a hipped roof, an oversailing cornice, and a doorway measuring approximately 2.1 by 2.4 meters with a segmental arch to the northeast. A low, polygonal pit house is attached to the southeast return, featuring a polygonal slate roof, pebble flint walls with brick dressings, a central door with a segmental head and bullnosed brick jambs, and cast iron lattice windows to the east and south. The southwest facade of the turbine house includes a porch with a hipped slate roof and a doorway with a segmental arch.

The goathouse and granary, attached to the southwest of the barn and located approximately 10 meters northeast of Hall Farmhouse, date to the mid-19th century and are also constructed of uncoursed flint with brick dressings, featuring a wide eaved, shallow pitched roof of tarred slates. The northwest facade is two storeys high with four bays, including three louvred openings to the granary loft. Two goat creeps measuring approximately 1.3 by 1.7 meters are present to the left, with semi-circular heads. A segmental arch frames the traphouse doors measuring approximately 2.40 by 2.40 meters, centrally located to the right, and a doorway to the right also features a semi-circular head. The right gable has two louvred openings to the ground floor and two high, louvred openings on the first floor. The rear has two ground-floor openings similar to the right gable.
