Blocka Hall

Blocka Hall is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a mid-19th century rear wing. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring some knapped flint in the basement and one gable end. It has a plaintiled roof, although modern tiles have been used at the rear. The structure is two storeys high with attics and includes a dairy/scullery basement floor. It has a three-cell layout with a lobby entry. The windows are large-paned casements from the 20th century, each with brick hoodmoulds. The doorway is elevated due to the basement and is accessed by a 20th-century flight of brick steps. The original moulded doorframe and fine plank door are notable features. A wide flat hood is present above the door. Inside, there is an internal stack, with the upper part rebuilt in the 19th century. The gables are parapeted, and there is a later external stack and a lean-to addition against the left gable. The rear wing is in a Gothick style, featuring heavy three-light casement windows with four-centre arched heads and estate-style leaded glass. It has a gabled entrance porch with a matching open wooden archway. The left bay of this front is the gable end of the 17th-century range, with matching hoodmoulds over all windows. Inside, there are ovolo-moulded bridging beams in the parlour and the chamber above. In the attic, there is a 17th-century brick fireplace with a moulded lintel. The original rear door of the house is still present but is not in its original position.
