Description
Old Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to the south and early 17th century to the north, featuring a T-shaped plan. The building is constructed of red brick, with the south wing having a timber-framed core. Each wing has one roof slope covered with pantiles and another with plaintiles. It stands two storeys high with an attic.
The south wing showcases an early to mid-19th century facade with recessed bays, a three-window range with casements, and segmental arches. The doorway features a six-panel door, with the upper four panels glazed, and there are hoodmoulds over the ground floor openings. A notable original crow-stepped gable on the south side includes two pairs of windows (which were replaced in the mid-20th century in their original positions), an infilled square panel at attic level, and a stack with two detached octagonal flues that have moulded bases.
The north wing has various casement windows, some likely from the 18th century, featuring square leaded panes. A large blocked window opening on the west gable attic displays traces of the original rusticated stucco surround. The eaves are supported by corbelled brickwork, and the gable ends have parapets. The east gable includes three rebuilt detached octagonal flues.
