Description

Tunstall House is a 17th-century house, built before 1678. It features chequered brick in Flemish bond and has a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, set on a plinth with a plat band. It is adorned with four corniced gables and a projecting gabled porch that has two storeys and a garret on the left side. To the right, there are large stacks with four panels, and to the left, there are two panels, along with a wooden turret capped with a lead cupola.

The windows are regularly arranged, with five wooden casements in the gables, all having segmental heads except for the porch. The leftmost window in the gable is blocked by a lozenge-shaped clock face. The house also features four mullioned and transomed windows on the first and ground floors, along with a cross-window in the porch. The multi-panelled door is accessed through a round-arched entry in the porch, which is supported by fluted Doric pilasters and has a frieze, bolection cornice, and a pediment that includes a bust of Shakespeare.

The house was likely built for Sir Edward Hales, who died in 1654, or for his steward John Grove, who died in 1678.
