Description
Garbett's Hall is a timber-framed building with some brickwork, topped by a random width slate roof. The original structure consists of two storeys and attics, featuring a two-bay hall with a lateral stack and a northern porch leading to a cross passage. At the western end, there is a gabled parlour wing, while the eastern end likely served as the service area, marked by a large external stack that has been incorporated into various brick rebuildings. The hall has been subdivided into two rooms, each with corner chimney breasts connected to the main stack. The parlour wing, mentioned in 1584 as containing a parlour and buttery, has two upper rooms known as solars, and now includes a through stair hall and two rooms of unequal size, one functioning as a parlour with a stack on the western wall.
The building features square panel framing with mid wall rails. The gable of the parlour wing jetties out, and the upper room of the original porch has a moulded jetty plate supported by plain brackets, along with a similarly jettied gable that is underbuilt with early brickwork. The eastern gable displays a massive stack with a wide external arch, likely for a fireplace or oven opening into an enclosed yard. The hall's fireplace stack originally included bee boles on the southern side and has been rebuilt above shoulder level in the 20th century. The windows are small-paned and framed in metal.
Inside, the living room in the eastern part of the original hall features two chamfered spine beams equipped with meat hooks, along with intermediate rails that also have hooks. A painted floor is reported to survive, although it has not been seen. The roof structure consists of double purlins.
