Description
Houndstone House is a detached house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is built of cut and squared Ham stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof between coped gables and stone chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high with attics and consists of four bays. It has a plinth and an eaves course, with hollow-chamfer mullioned windows set in wave-mould recesses. The windows are rectangular-leaded, with three lights above and four lights below, and some have steel-framed opening lights.
Between the second and third bays, there is a projecting porch that includes an eaves course, a segmental pediment, and a lead-covered porch roof, which has a cambered-arched doorway in a wave-mould rectangular recess, leading to a pair of 20th-century doors. An extension was added to the north-east corner in 1868, which features a blocked two-light window with a hood mould on the north gable.
The interior has not been seen, but it has been reported that in the north wing there is a fireplace with an oven and a stone staircase alongside it, as well as several fireplaces with stone cambered-arched surrounds. Other interior work has been much altered, and the roof features collar and tie-beam trusses.
