The Old Hall

The Old Hall is a former farmhouse dating from the early 17th century and later. It features a rendered timber frame with colour-washed brick gable-ends on the south and north-east sides, topped with plaintiled roofs. The building has two gabled wings and a central gabled stair outshut that project to the rear of the main block. It stands two storeys high with an attic and consists of seven bays of late 17th century or early 18th century two-light mullion and transom windows, which have metal casements and later glazing, along with two modern replacements. The ground floor windows have moulded drip boards, and there is a modern porch with a stepped gable. Inside the porch, there is a bracketed hood over the front door. The building features one central gabled dormer, a repositioned diamond mullion window in the south-east wing, and two small windows with rectangular hood moulds next to the stack in the north-east wing. The main wing has an off-centre axial stack, while the north-east wing has a gable-end stack and the south-east wing has an external gable-end stack. The curvilinear south gable is likely an 18th century addition. Inside, there is an original winding stair with turned balusters and a newel knop on the landing, close-studding in the hall, arch-braced ties, jowled wall posts, and a clasped purlin roof with reduced principals.
