Hall Cottage Including Garden Wall Adjoining At Right Gable End And Extending Approximately 10 Metres East

Hall Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, with an attached garden wall. The building likely dates back to the early 16th century but was remodeled in the late 17th or 18th century. It features whitewashed rendered stone and cob construction, topped with an asbestos slate roof that has gable ends. The garden wall is made of cob and has a slate capping.

The house has a large lateral stack at the front, with a brick shaft that was added to the hall, probably in the 17th century. It has a three-cell through-passage plan, with the hall originally open to the roof. There is a closed truss at the upper end and a jettied loft at the lower end. Brick stacks are located at each gable end. The building is two storeys high and has two window ranges. Most of the windows are 20th-century replacements, except for a three-light chamfered timber mullion window located in a projecting rear stair turret, which was moved from the front of the dairy at the lower end.

The hall window has been built out in line with the stack and features a slated canopy. To the left of the stack, there is a plank door. The stair turret was formerly part of the hall stack projection, which has a massive timber lintel. The original roof structure remains largely intact, with a raised jointed cruck truss over the upper end of the hall and a stud partition that confines smoke-blackening to the timbers above the hall. The truss over the lower end of the hall is also smoke-blackened on the hall side only. The roof features straight heavy principals, with both trusses having cranked collars that are morticed into the soffits of the principals. These support two tiers of threaded purlins and a diagonally threaded ridge purlin.

The garden wall extends from the right gable end of the house and continues as a part of the front elevation, featuring four bee boles.
