Stanhope House

Stanhope House is a house that has been converted into an office. It was built in 1693 for Joseph and Elizabeth Spann and has undergone some later alterations. The building is constructed of stone and features a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall with an attic and has three bays. There are drip moulds above the ground and first floors, and the coped gables are supported by kneelers and topped with finials.

The windows are ovolo mullioned, with the ground floor featuring six-light windows that have central king mullions. The first floor has a transomed window in the first bay with two lights, while the other windows have six lights with central king mullions. On the second floor, there are three-light windows, and the attic contains gabled dormers with small bull's eyes. All windows are fitted with leaded glazing.

The porch has an entrance with bolection moulding, and above it is a stone inscribed with "ISL/1693" alongside royal arms. The porch was added in 1939, reusing the original architrave and date stone. At the rear, there is a low wing that includes a 20th-century garage extension.

Inside, the ground floor features panelling, a door, and a fireplace that are said to have been taken from Chillingham Castle in Northumberland. The door has elaborate panelling with a fan design on the top panel, while the fireplace boasts a gadroomed mantel and an overmantel adorned with strap work and a coat of arms. The panelling includes Ionic columns and nine smaller columns, originally part of an open screen that has since been rearranged into a closed screen.

The inner room contains a stone fireplace with a pointed lintel and a painted flower panel above, which is currently covered. The first floor has a timber cross-frame with daub and wattle infill. The attic floor has been removed, revealing roof trusses with tie beams and collars. There is a former stable wing wall that retains some timber framing and original entrances, although it now has later doors. Additionally, there are re-used carved stones from other demolished houses in Bromborough, one of which features a lion flanked by an elephant and a griffin. A mounting block is located at the front of the building.
