Description
Hunters Moon is a former farmhouse that likely dates back to the late 15th century, with additions from the 16th and late 17th centuries. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped on the left and half-hipped on the right. It stands two storeys high and features standard hardwood casement windows from 1985, which have imitation diamond-leaded glazing. The central entrance has a mid-20th century plank door, and there is an internal stack with a rendered shaft. To the right, there is a small rear lean-to addition, with the roof slope continuing down over it.
Inside, the core of the building consists of a hall and a service cell, showcasing full-height studding and wall plates with splayed, edge-halved scarf joints that are about 0.4 meters long. A flat tie beam runs independently of any bay division. The service end contains some irregular heavy joists, while others have been replaced in the 19th century. The hall features an inserted floor with plain joists set flat, supported at one end by a ledge against the stack. There is a good open fireplace with an original lintel, and the large bricks are likely from the 18th century.
To the right, there is a 16th-century two-bay parlour addition, with one bay containing the stack. This area has intact studding on both floors and closely spaced chamfered joists. Near the gable end of the rear wall, there is a blocked doorway with a shallow-arched head, which is an unusual position for an original doorway, and nearby is a blocked mullioned window. The open parlour fireplace is also made of large bricks. A two-bay addition to the left is probably from the late 17th century, featuring regular first-floor studding, while the ground-floor timbers are concealed.
