Description

Hunton House is a small country house built in the early 18th century, with 20th-century additions. It features a brick structure and a plain tiled roof. The house has a five-bay double pile design, with three-bay flanking wings and a ballroom attached to the right wing. The south front is two stories high, with an attic and basement. A mid-20th-century restoration reinstated the central door and stone steps with a wrought iron handrail. The basement includes 20th-century sash windows with round heads, while other sash windows are 12-pane with flat gauged brick arches. A moulded timber cornice and pediment adorn the center three bays, featuring a cartwheel window in the tympanum. The roof is half-hipped and has four symmetrical gable stacks. The wings, added in the late 19th or 20th century, match the original style, each having two windows on the front, three on the rear, and projecting forward by one bay. The ground floor of the 18th-century house contains a single room on the south side, featuring an 18th-century chimneypiece at each end and panelling. Behind this room is a two-bay staircase hall, which includes an open well stair with a turned balustrade, a moulded handrail that ramps up at the newels, a dado with bolection moulded panels and pilasters between, and contemporary panelling in the hall.
