Description

Stoke Hall is a mansion with origins in the early 17th century, but largely of early 19th-century appearance. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a slate roof. It has a three-storey, five-bay garden front (west) and a two-storey, eight-bay entrance front (north), which together form an "L" shaped plan.

The main entrance features a four-panel oak door with leaded side and overlights, set within an inset porch. The porch has ovolo moulded plinth blocks, plain stone pilasters, moulded responds, a semi-circular archivolt with a keystone, and an ogee cornice with dentils. The building has a stone plinth and three courses of brickwork extending up to window head level. The windows are recessed sashes with stone sills and glazing bars, topped with wedge lintels or flat gauged skewback arches in the three-storey gable. A blocked oculus is situated at first-floor level, and a brick dentil course runs along the eaves. The garden front (west) features a half-glazed door within a doorcase incorporating tapering fluted pilasters, triglyph dosserets, a radial bar fanlight, and an open pediment. Ground and first-floor windows on the garden front are recessed sashes with stone sills and glazing bars, while the second floor has two-light flush casements. The three-storey section has old slates laid with diminishing courses and lead hips, with later slates on the two-storey entrance front. Tall chimneys with two to three flues and projecting blue brick caps are present.

Inside, the Oak Room in the three-storey section of the house contains two moulded beams carried by moulded consoles, exposed ovolo-moulded joists, an 11-panel oak door, and oak wall panelling. The moulded stone fireplace has an oak chimney piece divided into three raised panels by four oak columns and surmounted by a moulded cornice. The Stair Hall has oak dado panelling and a staircase with cut and bracketed strings, turned balusters, and square newels. The study features ovolo moulded beams, while the kitchen has large ovolo moulded beams and exposed ceiling joists. One room on the north side of the house has cased beams with dentil cornices. There are several six-panel doors throughout the house.
