Old Hall Cottage Sexhow Hall

Old Hall Cottage is part of Sexhow Hall, a manor house with a complex history spanning the late medieval period to the 18th century and beyond. The hall displays large squared stone in its original medieval crosswing, with later sections built in tooled sandstone, old brick, and rendered surfaces. Old Hall Cottage is situated to the right, with 17th and 18th century rear extensions. The roofs are pantiled with stone copings, kneelers, and chimneys.

Sexhow Hall has a three-bay entrance front, with the right bay projecting and gabled. Sash windows with glazing bars are visible, alongside a projecting stack corbelled out on the right return. Old Hall Cottage has a similarly pitched roof and Yorkshire sash windows, some showing traces of earlier mullions. The interior of the crosswing retains timber framing with diagonal braces and painted studs, alongside late 16th century ornamental ceiling plasterwork in a bedroom. Notable features include a stone doorway with a shallow shouldered arch, possibly reconstructed, and a blocked stone fireplace of a similar date. The building contains heavy chamfered beams with run-out stops, and large stone corbels. The medieval crosswing's roof features a timber truss with curved principals, while an earlier 17th century collar-beam truss is found within Old Hall Cottage. Modern red brick extensions to the left and rear of the hall and to the right of the cottage are not considered to be of historical significance.
