Description

The Old Hall is a former Lobby-Entrance type farmhouse dating from around 1600, with early 18th century additions. It features a rendered and underbuilt timber frame consisting of three bays, though it may have originally had more. The building has brick wings at the front and rear, with vitrified headers, and is topped with pantiled roofs. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has 20th century casement windows that include leaded diamond panes. The extensions have segmental arched heads. An off-centre axial stack has four angled shafts aligned in a row, with a single decorative lozenge on either side of the chimney base, and brick boules within the lozenges and at the shaft interstices. The extensions showcase fine curved gables, moulded brick gable corbels, and gable-end stacks. Inside, there are jowled wall posts, a roll-moulded spine beam, and a stone fireplace with a 4-centred ovolo and ogee moulding.
