Description

The Old Hall is a Georgian two-storey, five-bay house with rendered walls painted white and a hipped slate roof featuring projecting boarded eaves. The building has a main range with a short rear wing on the left side, creating an L-shaped plan, along with shallow projections behind the main range. A single brick stack is located behind to the left. The front of the house is symmetrical, but the bays are unequal, with the outer windows spaced further apart. The windows are small-paned horned sashes, except for the right window of the doorway on the lower storey, which has hornless sashes. The central entrance features an early 20th-century Tuscan portico, a fielded-panel door, and added side panels. A rubble-stone garden wall is positioned against the left angle of the front. The left side wall of the house has small-pane sash windows above an added conservatory. The rear wall includes a large-pane sash window above a half-lit door. The left side wall of the rear wing is gabled and has a brick end stack above a large-pane sash window in the upper storey. To its left, there is a shallow two-storey projection behind the main range, which has narrow and tall large-pane sash windows in the centre and lower left, along with a boarded door in the lower right. Further left is a modern flat-roofed single-storey projection, above which are two large-pane sashes. The right side wall of the house also features two large-pane sash windows in the lower storey. Not inspected.
