Description
Doubler Stones House and the attached barn date from the second quarter of the 18th century. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and a two-cell, baffle-entry plan that is double-depth. The exterior includes quoins and a lean-to porch that covers the original doorway, which has a chamfered surround. There are two bays of three-light flat-faced, stepped, mullioned windows with an inner chamfer. The gables are coped with kneelers, and the left gable has a stack, with another central stack at the ridge. The rear of the house features a window with a double-chamfered surround (lighting the dairy) and a semicircular-arched stair window to the left of smaller windows with plain stone surrounds.
Inside, the windows on the south front have segmental-arched lintels, along with shutters and window seats. The housebody has a baffle-entry adjacent to the fireplace and stop-chamfered spine beams. The staircase is located at the rear between the scullery and pantry, which contains stone shelves. Some original 18th-century panelled doors are present, as well as a cellar. The attached barn to the left has a lower roofline and consists of five bays. It features a tall cart-entry with composite jambs and a mistal doorway with a quoined lintel at the left end. The left gable is also coped with a kneeler. Inside the barn, there is an oak fishbone king-post roof.
