Description
Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th to 18th century, with an early 19th-century addition to the southeast that forms an L-shaped plan. There is evidence of significant alterations, and it is possible that the house includes parts or materials from a mid-16th-century manor house that once stood on the site. The structure is built of red brick, which was formerly colorwashed. The main range features plain tiles on the front and pantiles on the rear, while the south range has a hipped roof covered with glazed black pantiles.
The farmhouse has two storeys and four windows with various casements. The doorway features a six-panel bolection-moulded door, with the upper two panels glazed. Above the door, there is a brick dentil eaves cornice, topped with a course of bricks set in a diamond pattern. To the north, there is a parapet gable end with an integral stack. The south range has higher eaves but a lower roof ridge, with three windows: the earlier part has three-light casements under segmental arches, while the early 19th-century addition has inset sash windows with glazing bars under flat brick arches.
The early 19th-century doorway includes an inset six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight, above which is a key in the form of a carved wooden head, along with panelled reveals and a small gabled hood. On the earlier part of the building, there are wrought iron letters reading 'TCS'. Inside, two ground floor rooms in the main range have floor beams with double stop-chamfers and exposed joists, likely dating from the mid-17th century.
