Description
North Hall Cottage is a house dating from the 16th and early 17th centuries. It has one-and-a-half storeys and is designed in a three-cell lobby-entrance layout. The section to the west of the stack appears older, with a slightly lower ridge on the roof, suggesting it may have originally been a two-cell end chimney house. The building is timber-framed and colour-washed over old roughcast, with plaintiles on the roof.
Inside, there is an internal chimney stack featuring four attached hexagonal shafts on a square base. The ground storey has standard 20th-century casement windows, along with one small 19th-century casement window just below the eaves and a gabled dormer. One room on the ground floor has an exposed ceiling with a main beam that features multiple roll-moulding, while the joists have a single roll-moulding. To the east of the stack, a two-bay ground storey room contains a main beam with ovolo-moulding and complex scroll stops, which include a miniature cresting decoration with jewel and quirk.
