Meaning of Hunch: The house hunched quietly around them all.

[Hongdung]

I read a sentence and I don't know its meaning: "The house hunched quietly around them all."
Could you help me to explain this sentence?
Thank you

It was an old crooked house with the sagging roof and droopy walls.

There was a crooked man,
and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence
upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse,
and they all lived together in a crooked little house.
