Description

Old Hall Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the late 17th century with an early 19th-century extension. It features whitewashed sandstone rubble walls that have been raised in height, and a Welsh slate roof with ashlar chimney stacks, one of which has a moulded cornice. The building has two storeys and three bays, along with a two-bay extension under a common roof. There is a projecting 19th-century gabled porch, and the original entrance to the left is blocked and partly covered by the porch. The farmhouse has two-light flat stone mullioned windows that have been blocked, with 19th-century windows opened on both floors. There is a smaller original fire window to the left, with a similar blocked window above it. A barn to the left is listed separately, while all other buildings are excluded from the listing.
