Description
Old Hall is a house dated 1651, constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof. It features an end lobby-entry plan and has been raised to two storeys, with two first-floor windows and an added two-storey porch on the right side. The building has quoins and a central door made up of six flush panels set in a quoined chamfered ashlar surround. On the ground floor to the right, there is a double-chamfered four-light window with hollow-moulded mullions, while to the left is a three-light chamfered mullion window. The first floor has two four-light chamfered mullion windows, each with a flush king mullion positioned between the third and fourth lights. The porch contains a two-light double-chamfered mullion window on each floor. The left return of the porch has a blocked doorway, and the right return features a board door in a plain surround. The original inner doorway has a chamfered quoined surround with a basket arch, and the lintel bears the inscription "1651 T.B." The house has shaped kneelers and ashlar copings to the left and to the porch, with end stacks that are corniced to the left. The left return shows two blocked single-light windows that once lit the loft over the original single-storey house, which retains its old roofline. There is a two-storey range to the right, which consists of farm buildings that have been converted to residential use, but these are not of special interest.
