Stubb House

Stubb House is a country house built in the late 17th century, with later additions made in the mid 18th century and in 1816. The late 17th-century rear wing is constructed from dressed sandstone and has a graduated green slate roof. The central block and the flanking pavilions, added in the mid 18th century and 1816 respectively, are made of sandstone ashlar, with the roofs not visible and corniced ashlar stacks.

The central block stands three storeys tall and features five by three bays. It has a low plinth, raised quoins, and decorative bands and strings, with the top string being modillioned. The entrance consists of a central half-glazed double door and fanlight with intersecting tracery, set within an open-pedimented Roman Doric doorcase. On either side of the entrance are 12-pane sash windows in Gibbs surrounds. The first floor has a central 12-pane sash window above a blind balustraded apron, which is adorned with an eared architrave, double keystone, and floating cornice, along with flanking 12-pane sashes in architraves. The second floor features five 6-pane sashes in architraves, topped by a modillioned cornice and a panelled parapet. The left and right returns of the central block have similar window arrangements and lateral stacks that rise above the parapet.

The slightly projecting single-storey pavilions have a low plinth and a recessed centre with segmental-headed French windows flanked by panelled piers. The bowed returns of the pavilions contain three French windows, with a cornice and low parapet above.

At the rear, there is a two-storey, three-bay wing that has rusticated quoins, a band between the floors, and 12-pane sashes in architraves.

Inside, the house features mid 18th-century details, including six-panel doors, window shutters, and several contemporary chimney-pieces. There have been late 20th-century additions to the rear and right of the house that are not considered of special interest.
