Stanworth Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Built in the 17th century, likely in two phases and originally comprising two dwellings. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble, with quoins, mostly rendered, and has a slate roof. It has an L-shaped layout, consisting of a three-bay range aligned north-south, with a two-bay wing added to the west side of the northern end. The building is two storeys high. The front (east side) has two doorways in the centre. The doorway on the left is located beneath a large lean-to porch. There are altered windows at each end of the ground floor, and three stone mullioned windows at the first floor: in the centre and to the right, these are each four-light windows, recessed with cavetto mullions; a two-light flush mullion window to the left is a more recent addition. The left gable has similar windows of three and two lights at ground floor, and a four-light window above (the upper window with two replacement mullions). The right gable has a two-light window on each floor towards the rear; the lower window is blocked, and the upper window has been altered as a sliding sash. A brick chimney is also present. The rear elevation features windows of two and four lights at ground floor, and four lights above. The added wing has similarly recessed windows, but with chamfered mullions. Ground floor windows on this wing have hoodmoulds: those to the left are three lights, and those to the right are four plus two lights with a king mullion (the first three lights are blocked). On the first floor, the wing has four, five (outer lights blocked), and two-light windows (lacking a mullion). The left gable of the addition has one inserted window on each floor, and a brick chimney. The rear of the addition includes a three-light window on the first floor, and a single-storey gabled kitchen extension. The interior shows alterations, but in the third bay of the original range are large stop-chamfered beams and a post-and-rail timber-framed partition wall. The addition features chamfered beams with run-out stops. The kitchen remains in 19th-century condition, with a flagged floor and an oven-and-boiler range.
