Description

Morton Hall Farm is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, featuring a 16th century chimney stack and rear wall. It is constructed of red brick, ashlar, and rubblestone, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with stone quoins on the left side. The central entrance has a six-fielded-panel door set within a 20th century porch. To the right of the door is a small arched window with a stone sill, while the outer bays feature 20th century bay windows. On the first floor, there are three four-pane sash windows with stone sills, and the building is topped with stone coping. There is an end stack on the right and a large external offset stack made of ashlar and rubblestone on the left end. The left return and most of the rear are made of late 16th century ashlar and rubblestone. Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room showcases early 17th century plasterwork on the ceiling, adorned with vine motifs, and there is evidence of earlier timberwork as noted in the North Yorkshire and Vernacular Buildings Study Group Report.
