Description
Hartnup House is an L-shaped timber-framed building, with the north-west wing likely dating from the 15th century. It features plaster infilling that is colour-washed, and the ground floor is close-studded. The first floor extends over both fronts, supported by protruding ends of the floor joists and brackets. Inside, there is a dragon beam with a moulded post. The building has a hipped tiled roof and casement windows with small square leaded panes. It consists of two storeys and attics, with three windows and two hipped dormers facing north-west, and one window and one hipped dormer facing north-east.
The south-east wing was added by Matthew Hartnup in 1671 and has red brick infilling. This wing features a bay window with five lights on both the ground and first floors, topped by a gable that oversails on a bessummer, which is carved with the figures of two hippopotamuses and the words "Matthew Hartnup," along with an attic window dated 1671 above it. The south-east window bay of this wing has been refaced in red brick with grey headers and includes two windows. There is also a doorcase adorned with single petalled roses of York and Lancaster. The courtyard of Hartnup House is paved with Bethersden marble.
