The Northern House And The Southern House At Hall Farm

The Northern House and The Southern House at Hall Farm is a former farmhouse, now divided into two dwellings, dating from the mid-19th century, with an older core in part. The building has two storeys and an L-shaped form, constructed of red brick with double Roman tiles and ornamental cresting along the ridge. The main range, aligned north-south, was added to an older house around 1850. It features a string course and blue header diaper-patterning on the upper storey. There are two internal chimney stacks with square shafts and corbelled heads set diamond-wise on rectangular bases. The building includes cross windows and one three-light mullion-and-transom window on each storey, all with rectangular hood moulds. The east-west cross wing at the south end has a timber-framed core encased in brick, with the west gable end bricked up to the eaves' level and rendered above. There is an irregular arrangement of late 20th-century replacement windows, along with a range of small-paned sash windows on the return front. The former main entry, located in the angle between the two ranges and now serving only the northern house, features a three-sided, single-storey porch with a flat roof and crenellated parapet.
