Description
Hall Wood Farmhouse is a hall-house that has been converted into a farmhouse. It dates back to the 15th century, with additions from the 17th and 19th centuries. The structure is timber-framed, standing on a red brick base, with a weatherboarded ground floor and a tile-hung first floor. The roof is plain tiled, half hipped to the right and steeply sloping down to the left with a hip. The layout features a baffle entry plan to the right, with remnants of a small hall to the right. The building has two storeys and a small ridge stack on the right side. The front is irregular with three windows, and there is a panelled door topped by a triangular pediment to the left of the right-hand ground floor window.
Inside, there is substantial timber framing with heavily jowled posts in the eastern range. The attic reveals a hall truss with queen trusses, but there is no evidence of a crown post. The rafters show signs of smoke blackening, indicating its historical use. It is likely that the building was originally a three-bay hall house.
