Tunley Farmhouse. Farmhouse. Early C17 and C19. Rendered rubble and cob, asbestos-cement slate roof. The right half; with lower ceiling and roof levels, was a 2-room cross- passage, with heated right room, and central 2-storey porch; in the later C19 was added a large extension to the left, with a new entry and porch, and a gabled wing behind the left hand room. In 2 storeys, 2+2 windows; at ground floor a lofty 3-light casement in projecting square gabled 2-storey bay, with a 2-light at upper storey, and a further 2-light in half-gable above gabled porch with segmental arch, and inner C19 panelled and part-glazed door. The earlier half has a small 2-light, then, in 2-sotrey gabled porch, a large 3-light set back in former doorway, with a further 3-light to right. First floor has 2-light in porch gable, and a 2-light in a half gable. Gable stacks, right and left. Further stack to rear gabled wing. Interior: in the early block a series of large plastered transverse beams. A C19 stair with octagonal balusters and mahogany handrail, and a square spiral wood stair. Many early doors, one good C18 segmental-headed cupboard. Roof structure has numbered and pegged trusses with 2 purlins; and at the far end a cruck-like principal. Records show the farm to have been occupied by the King family in 1608. The 1851 census gives 15 occupants, including 6 servants, of whom one was a governess.
