2/26 Hall Farm Cottage

• II

House. Early C17, with earl ier fragments. One-and-a-half storeys; 3-cell form, with lobby entrance. Timber-framed and rendered, with C20 pantiles to front slope of roof, double roman tiles to rear slope, and pantiles to the later lean-to along the rear wall. An internal chimney-stack with a plain red brick shaft; 3 2-light C19 small-paned casement windows to ground storey; 3 gabled dormers with similar windows to upper storey; a small enclosed gabled porch with plank door. To the east of the chimney-stack, one-and-a-half bays of the frame are very wide: in the upper part of the gable wall a passing brace is visible, cutting through a short side-tie to the outer wall, and on the ground storey a heavy main ceiling-beam, with chamfers and scroll-stops with groove, appears to be a later insertion. This half of the house may contain a fragment of a medieval aisled building. The remainder of the frame has higher ceilings to the ground-storey, substantial studding and reversed bracing. The upper rooms are ceiled-off at collar level, and no part of the roof-structure is visible.
