Description
Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of concrete pantiles. The building consists of a single long three-cell range, with the right cell, originally a cross-wing, serving as the parlour. The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, featuring five windows that are casements with horizontal glazing bars. The early 19th-century doorway has a broad architrave and a bracketed cornice, leading to a six-panel raised and fielded door.
On the left gable end, there is a heavy stack with an axial shaft and four offsets at the base. At the rear, there is a notable external stack heating the hall cell, which has two detached octagonal shafts on moulded bases, although the caps are missing. Another stack against the rear wall, which heats the parlour cell, has been rendered and reduced in height. There is also a one-storey kitchen addition on the left gable end.
Inside, the parlour remains unmodernised and has been used as a service room. It features heavy studding, ovolo-moulded mullioned windows, and a good ceiling with an ovolo-moulded main beam and a single roll moulding on the joists. Most of the remaining timbers are largely concealed. In the entrance hall, there is an early 19th-century recess with a keyed segmental head, a turned drop-finial, and reeded jambs adorned with lion's head masks. The upper floor and roof have not been examined.
