Description

Haltcliffe Hall is a farmhouse built in 1653, originally associated with Thomas and Dorothy Bewley, as indicated by a now-removed datestone. There are further inscriptions from 1687 and 1690 related to George and Elizabeth Bewley, though these are now covered. The building features roughcast over mixed limestone and sandstone rubble, set on large projecting plinth stones, and has a Welsh slate roof with graduated greenslate at the bottom courses, along with stone and brick ridge chimney stacks.

The farmhouse is two and a half storeys high and consists of four bays, with a right-angled kitchen and byre extension to the front right and a two-storey, two-bay barn or byre to the left, all under a common roof. The ground floor includes a three-light stone-mullioned window and smaller sash windows with original chamfered surrounds, although the stone mullions have been removed. There is also a small chamfered-surround attic window. The former entrance to the right features a chamfered Tudor-arched surround but is now an internal feature covered by the extension, which has a brick front wall with a 20th-century door and casement window. The byre to the right has a half-plank door and a loft above, while the rear wall of the extension has a blocked two-light stone-mullioned window.

At the rear of the house, there are small chamfered-surround windows on three levels. Inside, there is a large inglenook fireplace with a moulded fire beam and hood, complete with hooks, and beamed ceilings on both floors. The kitchen extension also has a large inglenook with a chamfered fire beam that projects into the room above. The byre or barn to the left features a through segmental archway, partly blocked at the rear to form a byre. Above, there is a loft door with a chamfered surround under a Tudor arch, and a partly blocked three-light stone-mullioned window to the left. There is also a plank door to the left and a blocked stone-mullioned window with a loft door above. Below the eaves, there are two rows of pigeon holes.

This farmhouse is located on the site of an earlier building purchased by Thomas Bewley in 1641 and remained in the Bewley family until 1758 when it was sold to Joshua Lucock. Further adjoining barns are not of interest.
