Description

Old Hall Farmhouse is part of a medieval complex that forms Spennithorne Old Hall and has been extensively remodeled. The building dates from the 16th century or possibly earlier and is constructed of rubble with an artificial tile roof. It has two ranges that form a T shape in plan, with the main range being 2½ storeys high and also T-shaped. The front elevation faces west and features three first-floor openings with 20th-century windows set under reinforced concrete lintels. There is a four-panel door located between the second and third bays, and a blocked chamfered mullioned window in the loft. A stack is positioned between the first and second bays, and there is a single-light chamfered window in the return wall of the rear portion.

The rear wing is two storeys tall and has a rear outshut, with quoins visible. On the south elevation, the ground floor includes a boarded door and a casement window within the remains of a chamfered stone surround. The first floor features a chamfered single-light window and a two-light mullioned window, with an end stack on the right side. An undated National Monuments Record photograph shows the building in a derelict state, revealing that the east wall of the wing had a blocked six-light window with round heads on the ground floor, situated below a string course.
