Description

Farm Cottage and the adjoining range of buildings at Hunsdon Stud Farm date from the 17th century for the eastern range and the early 19th century for the northern range. Constructed of red brick, they feature gabled red tiled roofs. The western front of the eastern range is painted white, while the southern gable end is plastered and lined to resemble ashlar. This building forms the eastern half of a courtyard that opens to the south and likely served as the former stables for Hunsdon House before a new stable block was built in the 19th century.

The two-storey eastern range has a central doorway that is now blocked, flanked by wide, projecting, full-height pilasters. The right side of this range is Farm Cottage, while the left side has a central door flanked by tall cross windows and a central loading door above which is a small gable. Farm Cottage features a low four-panel door with a plain surround, an arabesque frieze, and elaborate early 18th-century carved brackets that support a panelled flat hood. There are two small windows on each floor, symmetrically arranged around the door, with segmental brick arches and 15 small panes in each casement light. The interior has a two-room plan with a central stair, a rear lateral chimney on the left, and an external gable chimney on the right.

The single-storey northern range, built in the 19th century, includes a three-centred arched passage next to the corner and a stable that has three windows and a stable door located between the first and second windows from the west, where it connects to the former coach-house, now known as Old Laundry House. This historic brick stable yard is of special architectural and historic interest and contributes to the setting of Copthall Farmhouse.
