Description
Hampsfield Hall is a farmhouse located in Broughton East Field, believed to date back to around 1687, although it may be older. The building has undergone later alterations and additions. It is constructed of roughcast stone and features a slate roof.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic and consists of two bays, with the first bay projecting under a gable. On the ground floor, the first bay has a four-light double-chamfered-mullioned window with intermediate bars and a dripstone, while the second bay contains a small-paned top-hung casement window and a small square blocked window with a label mould. The first floor features sashed windows with glazing bars, including one in the first bay that is set under the lintel of the original four-light single-chamfered-mullioned window, which also has a label mould. The attic includes a three-light single-chamfered-mullioned window with a label mould.
The first bay has a gabled porch with a small-paned window and a return entrance, while the second bay has an entrance with chamfered reveals. A gable-end stack with a round shaft is present. The left return has a lean-to outshut with a large projecting lateral stack that has set-offs and a round shaft; the light on the right return features three intermediate bars. The first floor on this side has a four-light single-chamfered-mullioned window and a sashed window. The right return has blocked lights and two entrances, one of which is wide and boarded.
At the rear, there is an outbuilding with a catslide roof attached to the first bay, while the other two bays are gabled. The rear also features three single-chamfered-mullioned windows with two lights and some casements.
