Description
South Tunley Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century. It is constructed of brick with a sandstone plinth and quoins, topped with a slate roof. The building features a west cross-wing and a rebuilt hall range, forming an H-plan house that was partly demolished in 1958. It stands two storeys tall with an attic. The windows are 20th-century casements with plastered surrounds.
The south gable of the cross-wing has one bay, with a blocked attic window and a blocked stair window with a label to the right on the first floor. To the right, there is a lead rainwater pipe adorned with cast lions' heads at the joints and a hopper inscribed with 'TWE 1667', which may indicate the date for this wing. The main range consists of two bays, and the left-hand bay features a single-storey lean-to porch made of sandstone. This porch has a chamfered doorway with a canted head, and the lintel is inscribed with 'TW MW 1622'. The inner plank door has strap hinges and a moulded timber surround with a canted head. A chimney is located on the ridge of the wing.
An illustration of the house prior to alterations reveals a two-storey hall range with square-panelled timber-framing on the first floor, a two-storey porch with a plastered upper storey, and a timber-framed east wing with a fishbone king post, all of which could date from the early 17th century.
