Halstead

Halstead is a detached house built in the early to mid-18th century and enlarged in the early 19th century. It features random and coursed rubble limestone with ashlar chimneys and a concrete tile roof. The house is two stories tall with an attic and has an L-shaped plan.

The front of the house has a gable end from the earlier part on the left, with windows that date from the early 19th-century addition of the wing on the right. It includes a three-light chamfered mullioned casement window on the ground floor and a two-light casement window above. The wing has two-window, two-light casement fenestration, and there is a round arched doorway to the left with a six-panel door, though the fanlight is blocked. The gable end features chimneys with chamfered caps, and there is an eaves-mounted ashlar chimney on the north side. An attached 20th-century garage is not of special interest. The interior has not been inspected. Halstead is part of a group with France Corner and Grey Cot, which contributes to its group value.
