Ford Hall

Ford Hall is a hall that has been converted into three dwellings. It dates from around 1681, with additions from the early 18th century and late 19th century, and was restored in the 1960s. The building is constructed of coursed rubble gritstone and gritstone ashlar, with gritstone dressings. It features a hipped concrete tile roof, except for the rear wing which has stone slates. The stone gable end and ridge stacks include one on the rear wing that is arched to one side to form a bellcote. The rear wing also has stone coped gables with moulded kneelers.

The building is two storeys and has an L-plan layout. The 17th-century section is to the north, with an 18th-century range added to the south and a 19th-century addition to the east side of the 18th-century part.

On the south elevation, the western part features a double fronted ashlar 18th-century wing with a central doorcase that has a moulded architrave and a broken pediment supported by scroll brackets. This doorcase contains a 20th-century glazed door, with 20th-century top hung 12-pane casements on either side, all with flush surrounds. Above, there are five similar windows. Full height pilasters are located at either corner, and there is a moulded eaves cornice. The eastern section, added in the 19th century, has steps leading up to a chamfered doorcase with a dripmould above, which also contains a 20th-century glazed door. Further east, there is a large bay window, and above it are three chamfered window openings with dripmoulds, which were formerly mullioned and transomed. All windows in this section are from the 20th century, and there is a coved eaves cornice.

On the west elevation, the northern part has a double gabled front, with the extreme north section being from the 20th century. The southern part features a recessed and chamfered three-light window from the 17th century, with a 20th-century conservatory over the door to the north. Above this, there is a 20th-century two-light window. To the south, there is a four-light recessed and chamfered window with a mullion and transome and a dripmould above. Beyond this to the south is a convincing early 20th-century mock 18th-century facade, which includes a central doorcase with a broken pediment on scroll brackets, and 12-pane top hung casements in flush stone surrounds on either side, with three similar windows above.

The interior of the 17th-century section features a barrel vaulted larder with a well and a large stone fireplace in the sitting room. There is also a blocked mullion and transome window on the south internal wall.
