Stanghow House

Stanghow House is a farmhouse dating to circa 1776, with alterations made in the late 19th century, an early 19th-century wing, and a late 19th-century porch and conservatory. The structure is built of dressed sandstone with painted chamfered quoins at angles and late 19th-century painted ashlar dressings. A brick porch is stuccoed and scored to resemble ashlar. The roof is clad in Lakeland slate with stone gable copings and end stacks, with clay pantiles on the wing and Welsh slate on the porch. A timber and glass conservatory adjoins the main building.

The entrance front (north-west) features three bays, the central one partially obscured by a two-story porch. The porch has chamfered quoins and an embattled parapet from which much of the stucco has been lost. A segment-headed doorway contains a three-panelled door and fanlight, flanked by sash windows, all with architraves and keystones (some now missing). The ground floor has a louvred basement window, a horizontal sash with glazing bars, and a late 19th-century sash with glazing bars. The left-hand bay has early 20th-century casements in original openings with sills and keystones. A moulded eaves cornice runs to a shallow parapet.

The garden front (south-east) has three bays, with a central doorway, an architrave, an entablature, a glazed door, and a round-headed window above. Late 19th-century casements are set within rusticated surrounds with keystones. A shallow pediment with timber mouldings sits atop a shallow parapet.

Internally, original panelled wood window shutters remain. A single-storey lean-to outhouse adjoins the north-west side of the main building. A lower, two-story wing is attached to the north-east side, with one window and rebuilt end stack. Another single-storey lean-to outhouse, adjoining the north-east side of the wing, is not considered original. Farm outbuildings to the north-east have been too altered to retain significance. The building was reportedly dilapidated at the time of survey and was formerly known as Stanghow Hall. The lean-to outhouse adjoining the northeast side of the wing and the farm outbuildings to the northeast are not of interest.
