Summary

An early C18 farmhouse with later additions and alterations including a cottage.

Reasons for Designation

Hapton Hall Farmhouse, an early C18 building with later additions is listed for the following principal reasons: * Date: Hapton Hall Farmhouse is a largely intact early C18 farmhouse; * Degree of survival: the building's early internal layout is clearly legible and remains relatively unchanged.

History

A farmhouse built on the site of an earlier house in 1710 and altered in the mid/late C18. It is possible that the farmhouse originally had a single-storey rear lean-to that was demolished at an unknown date, after which the rear wall of the farmhouse was extended outwards to the footprint of the former lean-to and extended upwards to full height to form a double-depth plan.

A cottage was added to the left (south) of the farmhouse at an unspecified date and this cottage was later extended to the rear by the mid to late-C19. At the time of the original listing survey in 1984 the cottage extension was derelict. Since then there have been alterations to the cottage and its extension including complete rebuilding of the cottage's south wall and insertion of a new door and windows, partial rebuilding of the cottage extension's walls, the insertion of new windows, the blocking of the cottage extension's original door in its north wall and the insertion of a new door and porch in its south wall. The interior of the cottage and its extension have been modernised since the 1984 listing survey; a new staircase and fire surround have been added to the cottage, the former derelict extension has been converted into a kitchen and new floors inserted throughout. A rear porch was added to the rear of the farmhouse at about the same time.

Details

A three bay two-storey farmhouse of double-depth built in 1710 with later additions, architect unknown. It is built of thin sandstone rubble partially rendered beneath pitched slate roofs, and is linear in plan with a rear extension to the later addition and a late C20 porch addition to the rear of the farmhouse. There are ridge and gable chimneys.

Exterior: the farmhouse's front (east) elevation is symmetrical with a central doorway, a window above it and two pairs of coupled windows on each floor. All openings have plain square surrounds and all glazing is altered. The attached cottage extension's east elevation is of slobbered rubble with quoins. The south gable return of the cottage is rebuilt and has an offset door with coupled windows to both floors and a narrow light beneath the gable apex. All openings have plain stone surrounds apart from the narrow light which has chamfered surrounds. The cottage extension's south elevation has a modern lean-to entrance porch with side window and coupled windows to both floors with plain stone surrounds. The extension's partly rebuilt gable wall has a single window to each floor with plain stone surrounds. The farmhouse's rear wall is rendered. It has a central modern pitched roof porch. There is a coupled window to the left, a small oblong window to the right and four windows above, most now top hung casements with glazing bars. The double pile north gable has a later lean to addition attached to the rear and part of the front pile. There are single windows to each floor of the front pile, all with plain stone surrounds.

Interior: Access to the farmhouse via the front door leads into a through hallway. The left front room has a later polished marble fire surround, a panelled door, and large chamfered beams with cyma stops in the centre and mortices in the soffit. The right front room's internal area has been reduced and its rear wall rebuilt during a kitchen extension. It has a panelled door, timber beams and an early timber and tile fire surround but glass-fronted wall cupboards are modern additions. The rear kitchen has been enlarged and modernised but retains a stone fire surround at one end. On the opposite side of the hallway there is a small pantry with an early door. The farmhouse has an early rear door and early wall-mounted coat hooks. A stone staircase with stick balusters and an elegant slim handrail ramped at the bottom rises from the hallway. The upper floor has two modernised bathrooms, small bedrooms to the rear and above the hallway, and two larger bedrooms to the front. Three of the bedrooms have a ceiling beam.

The interior of the cottage and its extension has been extensively modernised. Surviving early features include some ceiling beams to the living room, kitchen and main bedroom and a wall cupboard at the top of the staircase.

Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 ('the Act') it is declared that the farmhouse's rear porch and the porch to the cottage extension are not of special architectural or historic interest.
