Old Hall

This is a late 17th-century timber-framed former farmhouse, with rendered brick infill panels and old plain tile roofs. Later painted and rendered brick additions have been made to the structure.

The house appears to have been built in three distinct phases. The earliest is a gable-fronted range aligned north-south. Shortly after, a slightly taller two-storey east-west range with a gable-lit attic was added. A gabled addition, likely dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, extends at right angles to the rear (south) of the east-west range. This addition runs parallel and is linked by a valley gutter to the rear of the north-south range, creating an overall impression of an M-shaped layout. A small catslide lean-to addition is located on the west elevation of the north-south range.

The front (north) elevation retains square panel timber framing on both ranges. The north-south range displays straight braces from wall posts to the tie beam, and has an exposed queen-post truss to the gable, with single-purlin ends and curved struts from the collar to the principal rafters. The east-west range features two two-light casements (each light with six panes) on the first floor and two on the ground floor (left of three lights), positioned to the left of a 20th-century gabled porch with matching glazing and fictive timber framing. Similar two-light casements are set within the timber frame in the centre of the gable on both ground and first floors. A substantial external brick stack is positioned on the east gable end of the east-west range, which matches the timber-framing pattern of the front range. A prominent lateral external stack is on the west elevation of the north-south range, with small windows on either side. The rear elevation has an irregular pattern of windows, with bracketed tile projections above the windows in the gable end of the north-south range and a 20th-century French window in the gable end of the 18th/19th-century addition. A truncated base of a chimney stack is immediately to the left of the French window.

A tithe map from around 1840 indicates that the house was formerly a farmhouse (held at the Berkshire Record Office).
