Stainton House

Stainton House is a vicarage built around 1800, with a service extension added in the mid to late 19th century. It is currently used as a guest house and conference centre. The exterior features painted roughcast and Lakeland slate roofs with stone gable copings. The building is two stories high and has a three-window entrance front. This front includes a renewed central projecting quasi-Tuscan porch and a six-panel door set within a wood architrave. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, with tripartite windows on the left and right, and a Venetian window with an intersecting head above the doorway. There are renewed end stacks and two ridge stacks with stone caps.

To the left, there is a slightly projecting two-storey extension that has two staircase windows at the left end, five ground-floor windows, and three first-floor windows, all of which are sashes with shaped sills and first-floor lintels. The right end features a shaped kneeler and a renewed stack. The left return has two renewed ground-floor windows with glazing bars. The garden front has a four-bay design with two-storey segmental-plan bay windows, each containing three sashes with glazing bars on both floors. A late 20th-century part-glazed door is located to the left of centre, with first-floor sashes having been renewed and painted stone sills.

The interior was altered around 1968 but still retains richly-moulded ceiling cornices on both floors, panelled doors in wood architraves, and panelled shutters. A late 20th-century one-storey outhouse, which adjoins the 19th-century extension, is not considered of special interest. The service extension is included for its group value.
