Description

Pipers Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, with an extension added around 1600 and a re-roofing in the 19th century. It originally featured a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan and is two storeys high. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a slated roof that has axial chimneys made of rendered red brick. The windows are 20th-century small-pane casements, while the entrance door is a 19th-century six-panel design, accompanied by a slated gabled porch. Inside, there is one surviving service doorway in the cross-passage, which has a three-centred arched head. The farmhouse displays areas of high-quality close-studding with tension-bracing and shows evidence of unglazed diamond mullioned windows. The north service end was extended by two bays around 1600, with an outshut added to the east side, possibly in the 17th century.
