Description
Wolfe Hall is a house from the early 16th century, with later extensions from the same century. It has a T-plan layout and features a lobby entrance. The building consists of two floors and attics, constructed with timber framing and rendered exterior. The upper floor at the rear and the attic floor of the cross-wing both have long jetties. The roof is covered with plaintiles and has an axial chimney with three attached elongated hexagon flues. The windows are 20th-century casements.
There is a single-storey gabled entrance porch from the 19th century, which has an arched and hood-moulded boarded entrance door. The main range includes a hall and a parlour, with chambers above. The timber framing is of high quality, featuring wind-braced close-studded walling and part of a plank and muntin cross-passage screen. The roof is a wind-braced clasped-purlin type, and the windows have roll-moulded mullions that are exposed internally.
Inside, there are large open fireplaces with cambered lintels set on re-used medieval roll-moulded limestone jambs in both the hall and parlour. The service end cross-wing dates to around 1580 and has windows with ovolo-moulded mullions exposed internally, as well as three-centred arched doorways on the first and attic floors.
