Box Hall

This is a 16th-century farmhouse with later 17th and 19th-century additions. The house is timber-framed and has a colourwashed brick skin made of Flemish bond bricks, with plain tiled roof, originally partially thatched. The front of the house features a projecting 17th-century wing on the left with a shaped gable, to which a lower, gabled 19th-century addition has been added. A 15th or 16th-century portico is recessed to the right of this wing. A further 19th-century addition sits in the re-entrant angle between the wings, with a 20th-century glazed doorway approached by three steps and a pergola. A 20th-century gabled dormer window is above this. The 16th-century portion to the right of the portico has 20th-century windows set into earlier openings. French windows are located to the right of centre, flanked by 2-light casement windows in cambered-headed openings. A 20th-century gabled dormer window is to the left of centre. Gable stacks are located on the right, and a large ridge stack is on the left of centre. The left-hand wing has a shaped gable to the 17th-century portion, with concave lower mouldings, a semi-circular top, moulded brick coping, a band of brick two bricks deep and moulded kneelers. A central chimney stack is present. A 19th-century addition has a blank gable end, with a glazed 20th-century door and a 2-light casement window on its right flank, and a 2-light casement window on its left flank. The left flank of the wing features a three-brick band between the floors, and two 2-light casement windows to the ground floor and two single-light windows to the left at the ground floor. Cross-shaped tie-rod plates are visible on the first floor, alongside 20th-century gabled dormer windows. The roof is hipped on the left and has a shaped gable on the right. A lean-to outshut is on the left, creating a catslide roofline. The 19th-century right-hand extension has a 2-light casement window to the ground floor with a cambered relieving arch, and a similar window to the first floor. The gable end has two ground floor single-light windows and two cambered-headed single casements to the first floor. Ground floor walling shows scars from a demolished addition. The rear of the house has a catslide-roofed outshut, followed by a 19th-century half-glazed door and three 20th-century casement windows, with the two on the right set in earlier openings and featuring cambered relieving arches. Three 2-light gabled windows illuminate the attic. Inside, the ground floor rooms of the 16th-century portion display chamfered ceiling beams and rafters.
