5/35 Nos. 1 and 2 Hall Cottages 14.11.77 (formerly listed as Hall Cottage) -- II

Two houses, built as one. A parlour block to right of c.1550-70 added to an earlier hall range. 3-cell cross-entry plan. 2 storeys. Timber-framed and plastered: a gable at the south end of late C18 or early C19 red brick. Pantiled roof once thatched. An axial chimney, the shaft rebuilt in C19 red brick, and a gable chimney of C19/C20 to left. Mainly casements of c.1980. A C19/C20 boarded entrance door at cross-entry position. Interior: The parlour block has high quality late C16 framing: a bridging beam has an unusual form of debased and shallow vinescroll carving, and the floor joists are roll moulded. Very closely-spaced studding and roll-and-cavetto moulded mullioned windows. Lintelled open fireplace. Hall range not examined: from photographs taken during restoration this appears to have been a single storey structure of medieval origin, the eaves line raised and the roof rebuilt in C17/C18. Restored c.1980 with additions to right and rear.
