Description
Hundalee is a mid-19th century farmhouse built upon earlier fabric. The building has a largely rectangular plan with projecting gables, and includes a single-storey service wing. The exterior is constructed from dressed cream sandstone rubble, featuring deeply chamfered reveals, stone mullions, and transoms. Ground floor windows are generally bipartite, with some featuring transoms; a base course runs along the ground.
The northwest (entrance) elevation presents a three-bay principal block. The slightly advanced central bay has a projecting single-storey gabled stone porch with a boarded two-leaf door in a deeply chamfered and moulded surround, and narrow single windows to its returns. The first floor features a bipartite window, and the gable has a blind arrowslit. To the left is a bay with a window at ground level, and a single window under the eaves. The bay to the right is broader, with a ground floor window and a first-floor window breaking the eaves, set within a gabled stone dormerhead. A recessed three-bay service wing is attached to the left; the central bay is advanced with a gabled form, containing single windows on both floors and a tripartite window on the right. A door and small closet window are located on the left side.
The southwest elevation has three bays. An advanced bay on the left contains a tripartite window at ground level and a bipartite window on the first floor, with a blind arrowslit in the gablehead. The right bays feature tall cross windows at ground level, and a single window breaking the eaves with a stone gabled dormerhead to the left.
The southeast elevation displays a two-bay principal block and an advanced gabled bay to the right with a pair of cross windows at ground level and a bipartite window above. A slightly taller gabled bay is situated to the left, with a cross window at ground level and a bipartite window above, and a blind arrowslit in the gablehead. A three-bay service wing is set back to the right; the central bay is advanced and gabled, with a bipartite window at ground level, a single window above, and a blind arrowslit in the gablehead. The left bay contains a window at centre level and a door to the left, topped by a coped crenellated parapet. The right bay has two small windows.
The northeast elevation, with its M-roofed principal block, features a tall transomed window at ground level to the left, and a bipartite window above. Single windows are positioned to the right of each gable; apex stacks are present. A service wing is attached to the right at ground level, with a pair of blank gables. Small-pane sash and case windows are visible behind the transoms. The roof is covered in grey slates with sawtooth coped skews, moulded bracket skewputts, and finials. Stugged ashlar stacks are topped with heavy coping and pierced octagonal cans.
The interior contains handsome rooms with cornices, panelled shuttering, doors, and chimneypieces, as well as a wrought-iron stair. The kitchen, located in the first bay of the service wing, has a carved lintel dated 1667 bearing the initials RKDCH.
