Description

Pandora is a house located on the north side of West Street in Hunton, dating from the early 16th century or earlier. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, topped with a plain tile roof. The building has an open hall consisting of one of two timber-framed bays, with storeyed end bays. Mortices in the structure suggest that the right end bay was once subdivided. The house stands at two storeys and an attic on a rendered plinth, with a half-hipped roof and a brick ridge stack positioned to the right of the center. There are two small gabled dormers and an irregular arrangement of four 2-light casements. A boarded door is located under a low open timber-framed porch beneath the stack. To the left, there is a short rendered 20th-century rear wing.

Inside, there is a plain-chamfered rectangular doorway towards the rear of the left end-of-hall partition, which has a mortice for a spear. The first floor features a braced close-studded partition above, and the roof is constructed with collared common rafters and lacks purlins. The building was formerly known as Scott's Farm.
