Description

Silfield Old Hall is a house dating from the mid 17th century, with cross wings added in the late 17th century, creating a cruciform plan. It is timber-framed, with the wings featuring brick ground floors and timber-framed upper floors, all topped with pantiled roofs. The building was divided into two properties in 1940. It has two storeys and an attic, with a 20th-century doorway in the west gable. The windows are scattered, consisting mainly of late 20th-century top-hung casements, along with some late 18th-century three-light casements. The roofs are gabled, and there is a rebuilt central ridge stack on the main range, as well as an external stack on the east side of the south cross wing.

Inside, the west half features chamfered and tongue-stopped bridging beams on the ground floor, a closed string staircase with bulbous turned balusters and a moulded handrail, and doors that are mostly late 17th-century two-panelled types. The east half, which is unoccupied, has sunk-quadrant moulded bridging beams, and the roof has mostly been renewed, now consisting of collars and butt purlins.
