Description
Old Hall is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed limestone and gritstone rubble, featuring gritstone dressings and quoins. The roof is made of stone slate and includes a stone ridge stack and a stone gable end stack on the west, along with moulded stone copings.
The building has two storeys and was originally designed with a lobby entrance plan, but it has been extended to a half H-plan with additions to the north and west. The south elevation features a chamfered flush quoined doorcase with a studded wooden door, likely from the 19th century. To the west, there is a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould, dating from the 19th or early 20th century, and the remains of an earlier window are visible nearby. On either side of the entrance, there are advanced gabled bays, each containing a six-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a central major mullion and hoodmould; the eastern window is from the 17th century, while the western one is probably an early 20th-century addition. Above these bays, there are five-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows with hoodmoulds, with the western window being an early 20th-century copy of the eastern one. The recessed central section includes a full gabled attic dormer with a 17th-century three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window featuring a dripmould. All the windows have 20th-century leaded lights of various designs.
The interior includes panelling dated 1650, which may have been reused from another location, and a 19th-century staircase designed in a 17th-century style, featuring flat frettied balusters.
