Hall Farm, 17th century house. In the rough wall of the hedge by the road side is an unfinished runner stone for a cider mill. Hall Farm retains a great deal of original worked granite internally and externally. On the lintel of the entrance doorway is RA 1607 AC. The south west wing appears to contain the remains of an earlier building with upper storey now removed, which seems to have been reached by two circular stone staircases, of which slight traces remain. South west of the house is a long barn coeval with the bulk of the house.
