Description
The farm buildings adjoining the stable courtyard at Bolton Hall date from the early to mid-19th century and include a barn, cart-sheds, stables, and ancillary buildings. Constructed from rubble with stone slate roofs, the buildings form two courtyards and consist of single- and two-storey ranges.
The barn, which faces west, is two storeys high and features three board doors with four-pane overlights below, large barn doors in a 20th-century opening to the right, and a small window to the left. On the first floor, there are three window openings. At right angles to the barn, a two-storey block faces south and contains five cart-shed openings that are partially infilled and equipped with board doors, along with fixed-light windows at each end and seven part-shuttered windows above. The interior includes a pair of stalls for farm horses in each bay.
At the back, there is an added range facing north, forming a three-bay cart-shed with a hay-loft above, featuring three 12-pane unequally-hung sash windows and another lean-to outbuilding. Across the courtyard, a single-storey range faces south and serves as an eight-bay cart-shed, with seven open bays of segmental arches. The eighth bay is divided off to create a forge, which has board doors in the opening, a tripartite side-sliding sash window under a deep lintel, and a chimney.
At the right end, closing the east end of the yard, there is a single-storey return range facing west that includes a pig slaughter-house, tack-room, and workshop, with three board doors below cambered arches and two window openings flanking them. To the left, partially closing the west end of the yard, is another single-storey return range facing east that serves as a joiner's shop, featuring two segmental-arched cart openings that are blocked with a side-sliding sash window and a board stable door. This range has a hipped roof on the left side.
Approximately five metres to the west, there is a single-storey game larder with a board door in the south gable end and a louvred ventilator above. Additionally, there are two single-storey rest rooms about ten metres west of the barn, each consisting of one bay with gable-entry and board doors. The buildings feature lateral ashlar stacks.
