Hale Farmhouse

Hale Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the late 18th century, with a fragment of 17th-century brickwork. It has undergone late 19th-century and circa 1980 modernisations. The structure features Flemish bond red brick, while the first floor of the front block is made of plastered timber-framing. Part of the north wall of the rear block likely contains 17th-century English bond brick, including burnt headers. The house has brick stacks and chimney shafts, topped with a peg-tile roof.

The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan, with the main block facing east-southeast. It has a two-room layout that has been somewhat altered. The larger left (south) room has a direct entry and features a large projecting gable-end stack, which appears to be the only original fireplace. The right room now has a secondary rear lateral stack. A one-room plan rear service block projects at a right angle from the back of the left end.

The house is two storeys high, with attics in the roof space and a cellar beneath the front left room. The exterior has a symmetrical two-window front with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. The central doorway features a 19th-century four-panel door set within a late 19th-century timber-framed gabled porch, complete with waney bargeboards. The tall mansard roof is gable-ended and includes two front flat-roofed dormer windows.

The interior primarily reflects the late 19th-century and 20th-century modernisations, with no earlier features currently exposed. The roof has not been inspected.
