Main article: Homestead (Hearthfire)

"You may decide the Small House is not enough - perhaps you need more room for a growing family? The next step is to add a Main Hall, which will turn your cottage into an imposing manor house: two floors, including space for two small bedrooms, a back room and a large dining area."

―The Beginner's Guide to Homesteading

The Main Hall Is the second stage of home construction in The Elder Scrolls V: Hearthfire and is only available after the Small House is complete. The Main Hall must be constructed before any additional wings can be added.

Expansion

The Main Hall, mid construction.

Every Main Hall can be expanded with a Cellar as soon as the entire construction of the hall itself is done with, adding the Cellar is optional but it is also considered to be the final part of the Main Hall. When the Hall is done (with or without Cellar) additional wings can be constructed at the Drafting Table that connect to the Main Hall. A maximum of three wings can be added, and each wing has three possible choices. This allows for twenty seven possible combinations on each Homestead, however the choice for each wing once construction is started is permanent. If you have all three homesteads Lakeview Manor, Windstad Manor and Heljarchen Hall, you can have every kind of wing once. There are three choices for every wing as is listed below.

East Wing

• Armory
• Kitchen
• Library

West Wing

• Bedrooms
• Enchanter's Tower
• Greenhouse

North Wing

• Alchemy Laboratory
• Trophy Room
• Storage Room

Structure

The main hall consists of ten components that are spilt into seven stages of construction.

Downstairs Furnishings

The following is a list of all furnishings that can be added to the Main Hall. Furnishings can be built manually at the indoor Carpenter's Workbench or added over a period time if done via a Steward. The cost of asking a steward to furnish entire  Main Hall is 3,500 . The total base cost of buying all the materials and crafting the furnishings oneself is a fraction of the cost, albeit more time consuming.

All furnishings are fixed in position and cannot be removed once they are built. The name of the furnishing option does not always accurately describe what will be added, as in some cases additional containers and accessories may be added, along with the main piece of furniture.

These furnishings can be built from the Carpenter's Workbench located on the ground floor in the Main Hall. The first "Square Table" will appear automatically (beneath the west staircase) if "Remodel House into Entryway" is selected at the Drafting Table after building the "Square Table and Chairs" inside the small house.

For items such as chests and square tables that have multiple instances, the amount given is per instance, but the total reflects all instances combined.

Conversion Table

The following table lists the raw materials of building components that can be crafted or the purchase price of raw materials that can be bought. Fractional values indicate that a single unit of raw material will produce multiple units of the product, e.g., a single iron ingot produces ten nails, so a single nail is a tenth of an ingot.

• The menu at a carpenter's workbench may indicate the option to build an item, such as the Oven, that has already been installed.
• The same menu may also omit items that have not yet been constructed. When this happens, items you do construct may not appear.^{confirmation needed}
