Stapeley House

Stapeley House is a small country house, now used as offices, that dates from the late 18th century and has had additions and alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of red Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. The building has three storeys and features a symmetrical entrance front with three bays.

The central stone frontispiece includes a doorway on the ground floor, framed by a 19th-century surround. This doorway has a tripartite arrangement consisting of an unglazed door with lateral lights of one by four panes, separated by ashlar pilasters, and topped with a segmental relieving arch. The ashlar surround shows chamfered rustication and appears to be a 19th-century replacement of a simpler 18th-century design.

Above the entrance, at the first floor, is a central two-light casement window flanked by niches and topped with a pediment. A square sash window is located on the second floor. On either side of the entrance are 19th-century canted bay windows that rise two storeys, with two square sash windows on each side at the second floor. The building features 19th-century chamfered stone quoins at the corners, and an 18th-century cyma-moulded cornice and parapet, which is solid brick in the middle but has stone piers and shaped balusters at the sides.

To the right of the main structure is a wing with three lower storeys and four bays, while to the left, there is a single-storey addition from the 20th century. The rear of the building has extensive 20th-century additions.
