Description

Carreghofa Hall is a two-storey, L-plan building constructed of red brick with slate roofs that are hipped at the southeast end. The wing, which has a cellar beneath, is made of early hand-made bricks and features raised gable ends and a projecting gable stack, likely representing the surviving parlour wing of a 17th-century house.

The main body of the house, built in the 18th century, has raised gables, oversailing eaves, and a central brick ridge stack. There are remnants of stone foundations at the southeast end, while the brickwork above has been significantly disturbed. Around 1917, the garden side was extended with red brick and features flat-roofed eaves dormers. The building lacks a main facade; instead, the farmyard side of the 18th-century block displays several blocked openings with cambered brick heads. Most of the existing windows are three-light 19th-century mullion-transom types with iron-framed casements. The rear door is part-glazed and made of planks. The 17th-century wing has two tall, small-paned iron-framed casements on the first floor, supported by thin timber lintels.

To the northeast of Carreghofa Hall is a late 18th-century four-bay barn. Its roof extends to connect with the farmhouse, creating a covered driveway into the farmyard. The lower end of the barn was converted into a loose-box with a loft above in the 19th century. It is built of stone rubble with roughly dressed stone quoins and plinth, featuring an iron roof and large double opposing doors leading to the threshing bay. The barn has slit ventilators, some of which are now blocked, and the lower end bay includes a plank door and slatted window beneath brick cambered heads, along with a slatted window for the loft and a tall pitching opening. The barn is supported by pegged king-post trusses and a cambered tie-beam.

There is also a former cowshed or storage barn to the north of Carreghofa Hall, dating from the 18th century. This building is made of red brick with crowstep gables and a slate roof, standing two storeys tall with a double tier of slit ventilators for the loft. It has undergone many alterations, but some original cambered heads of former openings are still visible.

The interior has not been fully inspected, but it features a large inglenook fireplace, 18th-century squared beams, and two-panel doors, some of which have raised panels, moulded surrounds, and tall "H"-hinges.
