Hall Cottage

Hall Cottage is a house dating to around 1600, with extensions added circa late 18th or early 19th century, and later in the 19th and 20th centuries. The construction is a mix of brick, timber frame faced in brick, and tile hanging. It has a clay tile hipped roof, with a brick axial stack centrally and a brick stack at the north-west end.

The house originally comprised a 2-bay timber-framed core with a central axial stack and back-to-back fireplaces. A bay was added in brick at each end around the late 18th or early 19th century. Further outshuts were added to the rear in the 19th century, and a short, half-hipped wing was built in the 20th century.

The south-west front has an asymmetrical appearance with 4 windows, featuring 2- and 3-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. The centre of the first floor is tile-hung. The rear, facing north, features a catslide roof over an outshut, and a short 20th-century wing.

The interior retains exposed timber framing, with square panels and straight tension-braces. Jowled storey-posts support tie-beam trusses with collars, clasped purlins, and wind-braces; some common-rafter couples are intact. There are chamfered ceiling beams with cyma and hollow-step stops.
