Description
Huddlesceugh Hall and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn complex dating from the early to mid 16th century, with an extension dated 1617. The entrance features initials I.(&)H.N. and W.D., and incorporates a former external door dated 1601 with initials W.(&)H.D. The building has limewashed rendered walls, with the left end wall made of 20th-century breeze blocks, and a slate roof with stone chimney stacks.
The structure is two storeys high and consists of several bays. The left side is from the early or mid 16th century and is partly integrated into the later barn. The 1617 extension has a common roof and replaces an early 17th-century house, with its front wall masonry incorporated into the 1617 building. The original house on the left has slightly raised walls. The ground floor entrance, likely original, features a Tudor arched doorway.
There is a lower projecting right-angled extension at the front, which now forms part of the internal wall of the adjoining barn and has blocked stone mullioned windows. In 1982, part of the front wall, internal fireplace, chimney breast, and gable wall collapsed and were rebuilt using 20th-century materials, although a ground floor stone mullioned window was retained, along with a similar window in the rear wall.
The extension has four bays and features a dated lintel stone with carved decorations of stag heads and stars, and the hood mould has decorated label stops. A 20th-century glazed porch covers the entrance and a window to the right. The windows are one and two-light stone mullioned types with continuous hood moulds and 20th-century casements.
To the extreme right is a late 18th-century projecting dairy or wash-house. The barn to the left is constructed of red sandstone coursed rubble and has three round arches on the ground floor, complete with impost blocks and keystones. Above, there are four square openings with plain stone surrounds. The listing does not include other farm buildings on the site.
