Description
Bulls Hall Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse that features a three-cell layout with a 17th-century dairy cell to the left, creating a single long range. The building has undergone some alterations in the 19th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with the gables displaying exposed timbers that date from the 19th or 20th century. The roof is covered with concrete plain tiles and is not steeply pitched. The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with various types of windows.
On the ground floor, there are four mid-20th-century standard small-paned casements, and to the left, two 19th-century three-light casements. The first floor features three 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars. The entrance is a lobby with a 19th-century plastered gabled porch topped with a spike finial; the door is double-leaved, three-quarters glazed, with margin glazing bars. Inside, there is an internal stack with a 19th-century white brick shaft, and the former dairy has a slatted gable end window.
At the rear, there is a one-storey lean-to made of colourwashed brick with a slated roof. The interior has been Victorianized, with a hall that has a chamfered-joist ceiling and plain joists at the service end. The main components of the frame are visible on the upper floor, including a cambered tie beam over the hall chamber and a 19th-century straight stair. The dairy addition features on-edge joists, and the alignment of one jowled post suggests it may have originally been part of a cross-wing. The roof has not been examined but is almost certainly a 19th-century replacement.
