Lower Stockclough

Lower Stockclough is a farmhouse, likely built around 1700, though it shows signs of earlier construction. The building is made of coursed sandstone rubble, with some random rubble, and features quoins and a concrete tile roof with gable chimneys. It has a two-bay plan with a later rear extension and an outshut. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with the garden front featuring a central door that has a modern glazed porch. There are five windows with hollow-moulded mullions and chamfered surrounds: to the left, there are two and four lights under one hoodmould, while to the right, there is a four-light window with a hoodmould. The first floor has an asymmetrical arrangement of three and three lights. The right return wall includes a two-light flush mullion window at the ground floor and a former two-light stone mullion window, now a casement, at the first floor. The rear wall features the corbelled base of a former garderobe at the first floor. The two-storey extension has 19th-century windows, and the remainder of the rear and left return walls are covered by a wide outshut. Inside, there are very large chamfered beams with some tongue stops, and at the first floor, large tie beams and raked struts of the roof trusses are exposed beneath the ceilings. The house was likely remodeled around the suggested date.
