Description

Hunsdon Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the 16th or 17th century, with a date of 1629 and the initials MR on a stone tablet in the north gable end. It is constructed of stone rubble with granite ashlar and has an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends. The roof at the lower (south) end is at a lower level and clad in asbestos sheet. The building is one and a half storeys high and features a four-window range. On the ground floor, there are three chamfered granite mullion windows with two and three lights, each with hood moulds. The house has two gabled dormers with late 19th-century casements. To the left, there is a large stone porch with a roll-moulded four-centred arch granite inner doorway. A large granite chimney stack is located off-centre to the right of the doorway, along with a brick chimney stack at the gable end. At the rear, there is a cob wing at the higher end, forming an L-shaped plan, with a stair projection that has a splayed corner. The lower end, almost from the cross passage, has been demolished. Inside, there are stopped chamfer ceiling beams, wooden ovolo moulded doorways leading from the hall to the stairs and parlour, wooden newel stairs, and collar-braced roof trusses.
