Description

Hudswell House is a late 17th-century house that underwent significant restoration in the early 20th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a stone-tiled roof with moulded coping on the gables, a ridge stack, and a south end stack on the southwest rear wing. The house is two and a half storeys high and has an L-shaped plan.

The east front displays recessed ovolo-moulded mullion windows, many of which have been renewed. It includes two dormer gables with 2-light windows, as well as 3-light and 4-light windows on the first floor, and 5-light and 4-light windows on the ground floor, all adorned with hoodmoulds. There is a range to the north with a coped gable, flush quoins at the north end, and a rear wall stack. The east front also features a 4-light upper window above a 20th-century door, which is flanked by windows under a hoodmould.

On the south end, there is an attic single light and a 3-light window on the first floor, both with hoodmoulds, along with a ground floor 4-light timber-mullion window that has renewed mullions. The rear wing has a south side with a 2-light and a single light window on the first floor and a 4-light window below, all with hoodmoulds. The west end has a 3-light 20th-century attic window with a hoodmould.

On the west side of the main range, there is a dormer gable with a 2-light window and hoodmould. The road front features a single-storey early 20th-century range with a porch behind the rear wing that connects to an outbuilding at the north end of the main range. Inside the porch is an original bolection-moulded doorcase from around 1700, which holds a plank door. Inside the house, there is a Tudor-arched fireplace at the south end with a stone shelf and a bolection-moulded central fireplace.
