Hanmer Hall Farmhouse

Hanmer Hall Farmhouse is a Georgian two-storey, three-bay house built from hand-moulded Flemish-bond brick, topped with a hipped slate roof featuring swept projecting eaves and four brick stacks at the rear. The house has a U-shaped layout that encloses a small rear courtyard. The front façade, which has three bays, includes a central entrance with a Tuscan doorcase and a segmental pediment above a replacement half-glazed door. The windows on this elevation feature keyed wedge lintels and wooden ovolo mullions, with the taller lower windows also having transoms; all windows are wood-framed casements.

On the right side, the three bays have windows and lintels similar to those at the front, except for the lower right-hand window, which has been replaced. The left side is simpler, although the upper-storey windows are adorned with freestone architraves and ovolo mullions for the two-light casement windows. The lower storey has wooden cross windows that have been replaced in their original camber-headed openings, along with an inserted panel door to the right of centre.

The rear of the house forms a narrow courtyard. At the back of the main range, there is a round-headed doorway with a central boarded door and a Y-tracery overlight, set within a blind elliptical arch. Flanking this doorway are replacement cross windows, with the right window being taller, and above them are two-light casements, all under original camber-headed openings. The centre of the upper storey features a smaller inserted window. The side walls of the courtyard include camber-headed doorways, with the left-hand side retaining a boarded door and the right-hand side featuring a modern half-glazed door and panelling. The right-hand rear wall has an inserted or replacement window under a flat head made from different coloured brick than the main structure, along with a two-light window in the upper storey under a cambered head. The left-hand rear wall has a blocked doorway and a window above, both also under cambered heads.

Brick garden walls are present at each of the four corners of the building. Inside, the house is centrally planned with an entrance hall that includes a later straight stair. The lower storey features six flush panel doors, and panel doors are also found in the upper storey.
