Description
Black Hall Farmhouse is a two-storey building with an attached farm range located on Dolfor Road in Newtown. It features a three-unit lobby entry plan and is constructed with a box frame, primarily filled with lath and plaster, and some brick nogging. The farmhouse has a brick plinth and an early 20th-century brick extension on the left, which has a painted timber effect. The roofs are gabled and covered 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 features three later 19th-century canted oriel bays with Victorian sash windows. The openings of the early 20th-century extension have cambered arches. There is a closed gabled brick porch between the bays on the right, which is built on the site of a 17th-century extension. To the right of the left-hand bay, there is a blocked doorway that may date from the 17th century. A rear outshot, possibly from the 18th century, was raised in the 19th century and has a modern monopitch roof.
Attached to the right end of the farmhouse is an 18th-century lofted timber-framed agricultural building. This structure has box framing 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. The building originally featured a transverse feed-passage cowhouse, but it now has modern openings.
Inside, the lobby entry is situated against a stone chimney breast leading to a central hall, with the kitchen to the south and the parlour to the north. A cross frame creates a partition between the kitchen and hall, with doorways at either end, although one is blocked on the east side. The interior includes stop-chamfered axial ceiling beams and a roof structure from the 19th century.
