Hunt House Farmhouse

Farmhouse, dating from circa 1600, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. The farmhouse is timber-framed with brick infill, replacement walling, and refacing, and has plain tiled roofs. It has a hall and cross-wing plan, with the hall part comprising three framed bays aligned north-east/south-west. A large chimney with a brick ridge stack is located between the south-west and central bay, and a probable original through-passage is retained in the north-east bay. A service cross-wing, consisting of two framed bays, is situated at the north-east gable end, featuring an external brick chimney at its north-west gable end.

Parts of the farmhouse are two storeys with an attic and a cellar, while others are single storey with an attic. On the north-west side of the hall, the first floor is jettied on console brackets with two rows of square panels above and below the jetty. The south-west gable end is also jettied and supported on three brick pilasters; the framing above and below this jetty has been partly replaced. The roof structure includes collar and tie-beam trusses, mostly replaced at the south-west gable end, with a strut to truss apex visible at the north-east gable end. The cross-wing has three panels from sill to wall-plate, and a collar and tie-beam truss with some visible struts at the north-west gable end.

The north-west front elevation of the hall part features a two-light casement and three rectangular lights on the ground floor, a small rectangular light on the first floor, and a ledged and battened door adjacent to the cross-wing. The cross-wing has an external gable end chimney and a two-light ground floor casement in the angle with the hall. An attic light is located at the south-west gable end.

Inside, there are back-to-back fireplaces in the hall, one of which is blocked. The main entrance is now through a 20th-century single-storey extension to the north-east side of the cross-wing.
