Hunt'S Hall Farmhouse

Hunt's Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with extensions built in the 17th and 19th centuries. The house is timber framed and has a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The original layout was an H-plan hall house, with two two-bay crosswings surviving from that original design, and a rebuilt two-bay main range, constructed later in the 16th century. An external stack is situated on the left side of the left crosswing, while an axial stack is in the right bay of the main range. A stair tower, likely built around 1600, is located to the rear of both the main range and the left crosswing. There is a 19th-century single-storey lean-to extension to the left of the stair tower. A 16th-century extension is to the rear of the right crosswing, with a 17th or 18th-century extension featuring a hipped roof situated to the right of this, and a 19th-century addition. A single-storey lean-to extension connects the hipped roof extension with the stair tower. The front of the house (facing the garden) shows exposed timber framing. It has a four-window arrangement of 20th-century casement windows, alongside two blocked windows, each originally containing three ovolo mullions and ovolo mouldings, dating from around 1600. The front door is a six-panel design with glazed upper panels, set within a simple, reeded architrave added in the early 19th century. Both crosswings are jettied to the front, featuring exposed joists and three plain brackets. The right gable retains original plain bargeboards and sprockets. Inside, there are jowled posts, chamfered beams, exposed plain joists of horizontal section in the right crosswing, and crownpost roofs over the right crosswing and its rear extension. The stair tower has turned balusters, which are either original or early in date.
