Description
Black Hall Farmhouse and the attached Farm Range on Dolfor Road in Newtown is a two-storey building with a three-unit lobby entry plan. The structure features a box frame with square panels, primarily filled with lath and plaster, and some brick nogging. It has a brick plinth and an early 20th-century brick extension on the left, designed to resemble timber. The roofs are gabled with new slate, and there are 19th-century brick stacks.
On the first floor, there are four shallow three-light casement windows positioned under the eaves. The ground floor includes three later 19th-century canted oriel bays with Victorian sash windows. The openings of the 19th-century extension have cambered arches. There is an early 20th-century closed gabled brick porch located between the bays on the right, which replaces a 17th-century extension. Additionally, there is a blocked doorway from the 17th century to the right of the left-hand bay. A possible 18th-century outshot at the rear has been raised in the 19th century and features a modern monopitch roof.
To the right end of the farmhouse, there is an 18th-century lofted timber-framed agricultural building that is conjoined. This building has a box frame with square panels and is covered in lapped weatherboarding on a brick plinth. It has a gently pitched slate roof with raised eaves and a later lean-to at the rear, with modern openings that suggest it may have originally served as a cowhouse with a transverse feed passage.
Inside, the lobby entry is positioned against a stone chimney breast leading to a central hall, with the kitchen located to the south and the parlour to the north. A cross frame acts as a partition between the kitchen and hall, with doorways at either end, although the eastern doorway is blocked. The interior features stop-chamfered axial ceiling beams and a 19th-century roof structure.
