Old Hall House

Old Hall House is a house dating from the early to mid 16th century. It features a timber frame that is partially rendered and partially encased in brick, topped with a hipped plain tile roof. The building has a three-cell plan arranged in five bays and stands two storeys high. It has a continuous long wall jetty with a replaced bressummer fascia and moulded shafts with five-sided pierced abaci. The fenestration includes a mix of 19th and 20th-century windows. On the ground floor, there are two arched-headed fixed lights on either side, along with two cross casements with two and three lights. A 19th-century door with a four-centre arched head is located beneath the stack, and there is an elliptical-headed doorway to the service bay. The first floor has three windows, including a two-light and a three-light cross casement, as well as a replaced five-light ovolo mullion window. An axial brick stack is present, with the left-hand return rendered and the right-hand return brick encased on the ground floor, while the frame is exposed at the first floor. The brick casing continues to the rear wall, where the first floor is rendered. There is also an external stack at the rear of the service bay.

Inside, the house features a fine parlour ceiling with roll moulded beams and joists, the latter having run-out stops. Some reused timber can be found in the hall, and there is a simple chamfered beam in the service bay. On the first floor, there is a five-light diamond mullion window on the rear wall and a four-centre arched brick fireplace in the chamber above the parlour. The roof structure includes arch-braced tie beams and a two-bay clasped purlin roof on the right, with the remainder up to the stack replaced.
