Low Hallbeck

Low Hallbeck is a house dating from the early 18th century, with a later 18th-century extension to the southwest. It is constructed of stone rubble, with the front face whitewashed, and has a slate roof. The lower part of the north-west elevation is flagged. The north-west elevation is two storeys high and comprises four bays, with the second two bays added later. The windows in the first two bays are smaller, and the first-floor windows are lower, with all windows being sash windows with vertical glazing bars. The entrance is plain, located between the third and fourth bays, and has a gabled porch with a segmental arch. The door is a two-panel design with bolection moulding and a latch. The house has gable-end stacks and a cross-axial stack. At the rear, there is a gabled wing with a lean-to outshut to the right return, projecting under a single-pitch roof. More recent 20th-century lean-to conservatories have been added. Inside, a spice-cupboard door is inscribed with “IME/1721”. The cross-axial stack in the later part of the house has a projecting breast.
