Hunwell House

Hunwell House is a house dating from the early 18th century, with minor alterations from the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof with two brick gable stacks and tumbled brick gables. The building has a T-plan layout and stands two storeys plus attics, with a five-bay front and a first-floor band. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with a traceried overlight, wood panelled reveals, and a pedimented doorcase supported by Doric pilasters. This entrance is flanked by pairs of glazing bar sash windows with segmental brick heads. On the first floor, there are five similar windows at the eaves. The roof includes two glazing bar sash dormers with slate hung cheeks and leaded roofs. The rear range is covered with plain clay tiles. In the gable, there are 'T' ties associated with the Tunnard family. The interior features full height panelling in the parlour and dado panelling in the other front room, along with shutters throughout. The dogleg staircase has turned and knopped balusters, and the kitchen contains a broad fireplace with a bressumer that has run-out stops. The house may have been built as the Dower House for Frampton Hall, the residence of the Tunnard family.
