Description
Hundhill Hall is a country house built in the late 18th century or early 19th century, with slight alterations. It features coursed squared sandstone and stone slate roofs across two levels. The building is arranged in a U-shape, consisting of a double-depth main range with receding wings. The design is symmetrical, with a three-storey, five-bay central section and slightly set-back two-storey, two-bay wings. There is a band between the ground floor windows and a sill-band at the first floor. The central doorway has glazed and panelled double doors, a moulded architrave, and a cornice supported by consoles. The ground floor has tall eight-pane sash windows, the first floor has six-pane sashes, and the second floor has low six-pane sashes, with scrolled iron gutter brackets. The hipped roof is topped with three multiple-flue chimney stacks located behind the ridge. The flanking side wings match the fenestration and hipped roofs, with the right wing featuring an inserted skylight. Attached to the side wall of the left wing is a low service wing, which is of less interest. The return wall of the right wing includes a tall canted bay window at the ground floor, with three windows at the ground floor similar to those at the front, and three twelve-pane sashes above.
Inside, the house has 17th-century-style muntin-and-rail panelling in both front rooms and in the rear room of the right wing. There is an ex situ overmantel in the front left room inscribed "CP 1616." The fine open-string staircase features two balusters per tread and a wreathed curtail. The former kitchen in the rear room of the left wing, now a boiler house, retains remains of an open fireplace with a spit-rack.
