The Old Hall

The Old Hall is a manor house dating from the late 17th century, likely around 1685. It is constructed of brick in English garden wall bond and features 20th-century pantile roofs. The building has a double-depth plan, stands two storeys high with a loft, and consists of five bays. It has a rubble plinth with a chamfered ashlar offset. The central bay projects slightly and contains a window in what was once a door opening on the ground floor. The windows are 20th-century 16-pane sash windows that have replaced earlier casements, featuring torus-shaped brick sills and flat arches. There is a pronounced first-floor band with hollow-moulding at the base and ogee-moulding at the top, and a 20th-century modillion cornice that has replaced the original scalloped brickwork cornice. The roof is M-shaped, with renewed kneelers and gable coping.

On the left side, there is a 20th-century French window to the right, with 8-pane sashes in the gables and other 16-pane sashes. The stacks rise from the roof valley. The right side features a 20th-century entrance that has replaced the original kitchen door, along with a 20th-century single-storey extension to the rear right that is not of special interest.

Inside, the original front door leads into a central hall, which has deep bolection mouldings around a softwood fireplace and a doorway to the left leading to the parlour. The parlour features oak bolection wall panelling and a matching oak bolection chimneypiece with an 18th-century Carron cast-iron grate, along with an overmantel and flanking two-panel doors with H-hinges. The open-well staircase is made of oak, with thick turned balusters topped with bulb on ball finials and acanthus scrolls on the console of the bottom newel. The first-floor room to the front left has a deep bolection fireplace that matches the one in the hall. The staircase to the second floor has splat balusters, and the roof trusses are collared principal rafters, with some timbers being reused. The internal fittings of this house are of unusually high quality.
