Description
Haunt Hill House is a house dating from 1636 and 1643, constructed of limestone ashlar with a Collyweston slate roof. It originally had a two-unit lobby entry plan and is two storeys high. The front features a two-window range of three- and four-light stone mullion and transom windows; the ground floor windows have a heavy central mullion, while the first-floor windows are located under Lincolnshire eaves dormers. A central gabled porch has an ogee-headed door opening with a 20th-century door, and there is a small two-light stone mullion window above the porch. The house has ashlar gable parapets and kneelers, and a long ashlar stack at the ridge with four flues linked by a frieze with moulded cornices. The left gable features stone mullion windows, with the first-floor window having a stepped head, both flanked by carved volutes. A datestone is located in the apex. The rear of the house is similar, with a central gable, stone mullion windows, and small stair windows. There is a 20th-century single-storey extension to the right of the main front.
Inside, the rear wall of the entrance lobby has a pair of blank arcades with a datestone. The room to the left contains a large 17th-century fireplace with a four-centre moulded stone head, along with a moulded frieze and cornice above. The frieze and cornice break forward at either side of the fireplace, and the frieze is decorated with vertical grooves. The door opening to the right has a four-centre moulded stone head and is incorporated into the fireplace surround. The room to the right of the lobby has a similar fireplace, and the door opening to the kitchen on the opposite wall also features a four-centred moulded stone head. Two first-floor rooms are also said to have similar fireplaces.
