Description

Stonehouse Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with repairs dated 1674. It features an 18th-century outshut and an early 19th-century extension. The building is constructed of ashlar grey sandstone, with one bay in red brick, and has a concrete tile roof supported by three brick chimneys. It has a long rectangular plan with an outshut and a two-storey, five-bay front.

The façade includes a chamfered plinth and a cyma-moulded band at the first floor. The right end bay has rebated, cyma-moulded three-light mullioned and transomed windows. Next to this is a two-storey porch with stone-coped gables, carved kneelers, and finials. The porch features a rebated, cyma-moulded four-centred arched entrance with stone seats, and a 20th-century door behind it. Above the entrance is a plaque that reads, "THIS HOUSE WAS REPAIRED BY M JOHN DAVIES OF MANDALAY ANNO DOM 1674," along with two blank shields. The upper storey has a mullioned and transomed window, as do the sides of the porch. The third bay contains rebated mullioned windows, while the second bay has four-light mullioned and transomed windows serving the hall and main chamber above. The left end bay is made of brick on a stone plinth, featuring cambered heads to the casements.

Inside, two of the lower rooms have cambered deeply chamfered ceiling beams, while the other has a flat chamfered beam with flat and fillet stop. Most remaining fittings are from the 18th or 19th century, but some wattle and daub remains. The name "Mandalay" refers to an early form of the nearby area known as Manley.
