Description

Hunt House is a cottage, house, and barn combined under one roof, dating from 1685. It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and has two storeys. The original house is located in the centre and features three first-floor windows with chamfered mullions. A central pent porch has been added, which conceals a quoined doorway with a triangular soffit to the lintel. The lintel has a recessed panel with raised lettering that reads 'E B 1685'.

On the ground floor, there is a fire window and a three-light window with a vertical iron bar in the centre of each light, both situated under a continuous weather course. To the right of the porch, there is a two-light window that is not in its original frame, also under a weather course. The first floor has a single-light window flanked by two-light windows, with a single-light window to the right and a two-light window to the left. The building has end stacks.

To the left, there is a boarded door on the right and a two-light window on the left, along with an end stack. To the right, the former barn features stone steps leading up to a boarded door, with another boarded door beneath the steps and two-light windows on each floor. At the rear, there is a projecting stair turret with eight mullioned windows made of artificial stone, added around 1967.

Inside, the main inner door is an original boarded oak door with a timber bolt. There is a contemporary fireplace to the left with a segmental arch and a cusped sooker stone, as well as stone stairs in the turret. Some inner walls have been removed.
