Description

Hull House, located immediately east of the laundry, is a house dating from the 16th century and later. It features a timber frame and is pebble dashed, with concrete pantiled roofs. The building is two storeys high and has a long rear range, with four parallel gabled blocks to the east and a hipped-roofed extension from the late 18th century at the southern end.

The east elevation includes two small paned double-hung sash windows on each floor of the south wing, as well as similar windows beneath each gable of the wings. The ground floor features a canted bay window, a small double-hung sash window, a tripartite double-hung sash window with a central vertical glazing bar, and an entrance door. The truncated rear range has a 16th-century soot-blackened crown post roof, with spine beams and bridging joists exposed inside. The south wing contains a panelled room on the ground floor, an early 19th-century detail in the room above, and a staircase with split balusters. The building may have originally served as an old mill house.
