Description
Hackthorpe Hall is a farmhouse built in the early 17th century for Sir Christopher Lowther, with alterations made in the mid 17th century. The building features cement rendered limestone rubble walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes 19th-century banded red sandstone chimney stacks. It has two storeys and three bays of double span. The entrance consists of a plank door set within a multi-storey gabled stone porch, accompanied by two-light stone-mullioned windows, although the upper-floor window has been blocked. There is a three-light stone-mullioned window on the right side, which is situated under a hoodmould, while all other windows were enlarged in the mid 17th century to become four-light mullioned-and-transomed windows. The left return wall features two-light stone-mullioned windows. Inside, there is 17th-century panelling and original roof timbers.
