Description
Sockbridge Hall is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid to late 16th century, with additions from the 17th and 18th centuries. The building is constructed of plastered stone with a slate roof, featuring some exposed ashlar and rubble on the east elevation. The gables are coped, with the south gable displaying a crow-stepped design and roll-moulded coping.
The west elevation is two storeys high and consists of four irregular bays. It features hollow-chamfered-mullioned windows. The first bay on the ground floor has a three-light window with a transom, and there is a continuous label mould over the first two bays. However, the second bay has been altered to include an entrance with an architrave and a half-glazed door, while the third bay has a casement window. On the first floor, the first bay has a three-light transomed window, the second bay has a smaller two-light window, and the third bay has another three-light window. The fourth bay contains a plain entrance.
The gable-end stack has a large base and cornice, while there is an octagonal cross-axial stack on a square base with a brattished cornice, and an end lateral stack with set-offs. The south gable-end features three-light windows, with the first-floor window having a transom and label.
On the east elevation, there is an outshut beneath a catslide roof, with one coped end and a lean-to outshut to the right that has a flat roof projecting. The first bay has a window with three round-headed lights, sunk spandrels, and a label mould. A similar window on the first floor is taller, with Tudor-headed lights that are mostly blocked, along with casement windows. There are two casement windows and three pointed-arch windows in the outshuts, with an entrance to the return of the outshut. A brick lateral stack is also present. The entrance to the first bay is now concealed by the outshut and features a sunk triangular head in moulded reveals.
The north gable end has a two-light single-chamfered-mullioned window and two small lights. Inside, there is a large segmental-arched fireplace, and two doors with chamfered reveals—one has a shoulder to one side, while the other has a corbel above. The staircase features 17th-century balusters, and the first floor has corbels along with 17th-century panelling on three sides, cupboards with cock's head hinges, and a renewed fireplace.
