Hyntle Place

Hyntle Place is a house dating back to the 16th century, with subsequent builds in the early 19th century and later additions. It is constructed with a timber frame, originally covered in gault brick, with areas of red brick and added timber features. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The house follows an H-shaped plan, comprising a two-bay hall, two gabled cross wings extended northward in the 19th century, and a library extension built in the 1930s to the west. It has two storeys. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars; one window is found in each cross wing, and two in the hall. A central entrance has a six-panel door beneath a brick porch. A second six-panel door, with the upper two panels glazed, is located to the left, in a cross passage position and beneath a chimney stack. There is an axial red brick chimney stack, along with similar stacks externally to the right-hand cross wing return, at the former north gable of that cross wing, and between the left-hand cross wing and the 1930s build. The library is designed to match the main house but incorporates leaded casements. Inside, the hall features posts and beams with ornamented stops. The right-hand cross wing displays exposed close studding and a cambered tie beam at the first floor. Doors feature HL and strap hinges. The left-hand cross wing features jowled storey posts, a blocked first-floor window with a shutter groove, and similar early doors. The building has a crude crown post roof, while the hall roof has largely been rebuilt. The right-hand cross wing retains a much-repaired clasped purlin roof.
