Description
Huntshaw House is a rectory that has been converted into a house. It has origins dating back to the 17th century but was rebuilt in 1836 by Thomas Illman of Bideford. The exterior features colourwashed stucco over coursed slatestone rubble, a hipped slate roof, and rendered end stacks with moulded drip courses. The building is L-shaped with a front right wing and consists of two storeys, with a two-window range on each front wall. There is a 20th-century porch on the left leading to a 20th-century doorway. Flat rendered arches are above 12-pane sash windows and a tall 15-pane sash window that lights the staircase. Similar sash windows are found on the right side wall, and there is a 20th-century door at the rear.
Inside, the house features early 19th-century panelled shutters and doors, an early 19th-century semi-circular staircase with stick balusters, fret-cut brackets on the open string, and a wreathed handrail. There is also an early 19th-century marble fireplace on the right. The layout and other features suggest that the current rectory is a significant remodelling of an earlier house. Illman noted that his rectory replaced a previous structure made of stone and cob.
