Description

The Weavers Workshop, located at the junction of the A689 and Causeway Road in Stanhope, is a mid-18th century building originally used as a smithy and now functioning as a shop and workshop. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and ashlar dressings, topped with a roof of stone flags that has been renewed in synthetic stone over later additions. The building is two storeys high with three bays, and it features a one-storey, one-bay garage on the left and a pent extension on the right.

The central entrance consists of a boarded door set within a plain stone surround. To the left, there is a wide six-pane window with a thin stone lintel and sill, while the wider third bay contains a plain sash window with similar stone treatment. The first-floor sashes are adorned with wider lintels and sills. The structure has two chimneys at either end. Additionally, there is a double boarded vehicle door in the left addition and a plain sash window in the right addition.
