Description
Pannington Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century, with possible earlier origins and later alterations. It is timber-framed, rendered, and partially cased in painted brick, topped with plain tile roofs. The building consists of two parallel ranges, with the front range aligned further to the right, likely comprising three bays, and a lower range added on the right, which seems to replace an earlier structure. The farmhouse is two storeys high.
The front range features an end hearth-passage entrance on the right, with a 19th-century door that has a divided overlight. There is an unequal sash window with glazing bars in an architrave at the center, and a canted bay with a French window to the left. On the first floor, there are three 6-pane sash windows. The building has end and ridge stacks. The lower two-storey range to the right includes a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and two 6-pane sashes above. The rear range has additional sash windows, and there is a 19th-century entrance at the angle between the front and rear ranges.
The interior has not been fully inspected, but the rear range displays a chamfered spine beam with an ogee stop and a chamfered transverse beam with a run-out stop. On the first floor, there are jowled posts, a wall plate, and studding covered in wallpaper. In the front range, there is a chamfered beam with tenoned-in joists in the kitchen, and on the first floor, there are jowled posts and cambered tie beams, one of which has an arch brace.
