Huntwick Grange

House, now farmhouse. Early to mid 17th century (with an ex situ datestone of 1640), probably built in two or more phases and altered in the 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed dressed sandstone blocks with a slate roof.

The plan is rectangular, composed of a two-unit front range with coupled two-unit rear wings of unequal widths and different builds, and a short side wing at the rear left-hand corner. The building is two storeys with attics and has a chamfered plinth.

The south front of two bays is almost symmetrical, with a central 19th-century doorway, probably replacing a formerly wider doorway as indicated by the termination of the plinth to each side. At ground floor are two tall four-pane sashes, and at first floor two square four-pane sashes. Gable chimneys are present, with that at the right-hand (east) end being external.

The left return wall has a three-light mullioned stairlight towards the rear of the front range, a small 19th-century window vertically above this, a two-light mullioned window at ground floor of the wing, a narrow chamfered window at first floor and a smaller similar window under the eaves above. The projecting side wing has an inserted doorway on the re-entrant side, and in the gable wall a narrow cross-window at first floor with a hoodmould and a three-light attic window (outer lights blocked) under a straight dripmould.

The right-hand gable wall of the front range has an external chimney stack with two offsets, flanked by a restored cross-window and an inserted doorway at ground floor. At first floor are three-light transomed windows, the left with ovolo-and-fillet mullions and the other restored. Small chamfered attic windows are above, that on the right blocked. The wing continuing to the rear has a chamfered Tudor-arched doorway with cambered lintel, now altered as a window, a modern three-light casement to the right, and three four-pane sashes above.

The rear gable of the east wing has a very large external chimney stack with offsets, a small square window (blocked) to the right at first floor, and small attic windows flanking the chimney above. Interrupted coursing marks the junction with the gable of the west wing, which has a three-light transomed window and a three-light mullioned window at ground floor, both with hoodmoulds. A similar transomed window appears at first floor and a three-light mullioned window at attic level (outer lights blocked), both with straight dripmoulds.

Interior features are numerous. In the rear gable of the east wing is a very large stone arched fireplace, now mostly concealed. In the parlour to the front of this side is a carved Jacobean overmantel to the fireplace and a very fine inlaid panelled door with ornamental strap hinges. Muntin-and-rail panelling (part restored) is present in this room and in the chamber above. Similar panelling appears in the chamber at the rear of the west wing, with a moulded plaster frieze of pomegranates and acanthus leaves, and at the top level of the staircase. The chamber at the rear of the east wing contains 18th-century bolection-moulded panels and fireplace. An arched brick fireplace is present in the attic above this.

An ex situ datestone now used as a fireback in the parlour bears the inscription "1640" with the initials "I W".

Huntwick Grange was the home of Sir Richard Saltonstall, a member of the Massachusetts Bay Company, who emigrated to New England in 1630.
