Description

Hincaster Hall is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with later alterations and an 18th-century extension on the lower right side. It is constructed of stone rubble and features a graduated greenslate roof with a stone ridge. The original part of the building has two end chimneys, one on the left with a single round shaft and the other on the right with paired round shafts. The extension has a single end chimney and another chimney with a round shaft at the rear. The building is T-shaped, with two storeys and rooflit attics.

The façade includes three irregular windows, either three or four lights, featuring chamfered stone mullions and surrounds beneath hood moulds with labels. The windows are fitted with 19th-century iron-framed casements. An off-centre stone gabled porch has a ball finial and a heavy studded oak board door with strap hinges set in a timber frame. The extension has a central six-panelled door with iron "H" hinges under a segmental arched head made of stone voussoirs, flanked by 19th-century casements on either side and a small casement to the far left, with three additional 19th-century casements above.

Inside, the ground floor features chamfered beams and two original fireplaces in the living room. One fireplace has a wide arched opening with stone voussoirs, while the other is smaller with a flat stone lintel and a segmental arch cut into its face. There are remnants of repositioned 17th-century panelling, which includes a plaque with initials and the date AM 1660, as well as fragments of a plaster frieze. On the upper floor, there are two fireplaces with stone surrounds; one features two round-headed arches cut into its face with a decorative carved stop, and the other has a chamfered, square design cut into its face. A small oak newel stair leads to the attics, which also contain 17th-century panelling and two powder rooms with panelled doors. The roof of the original part is five bays, with steeply pitched principals that have collars pegged at the ridge, a ridge piece, and two levels of purlins.
