Sexhow Hall is a historic house in the village of Sexhow, North Yorkshire, England. It began as a late Medieval manor built by the Layton family and was enlarged in the 1600s. About 1800, the old hall was replaced by a new wing. By the mid‑1800s the property was split into two farm buildings: the larger kept the name Sexhow Hall and the smaller became Old Hall Cottage. Both were extended in the 20th century. The building is Grade II* listed (1966).

It is mostly sandstone with some brick, has tall pantile roofs and a large chimney stack. The Medieval wing uses squared stone; the 17th‑century wing has herringbone stone; the Cottage is rubble. The upper floor of the Medieval wing is timber‑framed and brick‑clad. The Hall is three sections wide; the Cottage two sections wide. The original mullioned windows were replaced by sash windows. Inside, one bedroom has 16th‑century ornamental plasterwork, and there is a 14th‑century doorway and fireplace.
