Description
Stones House is a house built in 1746, constructed from dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features a symmetrical south front with seven bays. The façade includes a moulded plinth, projecting quoins, a band, moulded gutter brackets, and a cornice. There is a single-storey enclosed semi-circular porch, which dates from the early 19th century. The porch has a doorway flanked by pilasters, with curved sashes and glazing on either side, topped with a moulded cornice and a lead roof. Above the porch is a datestone set within an aedicule, inscribed with a poem attributed to William Greenwood from 1746.
The house has six bays of sash windows on each floor, featuring projecting sills and shouldered architraves with projecting dropped keystones. The left return wall has a band and a doorway with a projecting chamfered surround, above which is a semi-circular arched window with an architrave, projecting dropped keystone, imposts, sill, and moulded consoles. The right return wall has a similar window above a round-arched doorway, which is sheltered by a semi-circular stone hood supported by detached Tuscan columns. At the rear, the main feature is a large stair window, now sashed but originally transomed, along with surviving chamfered mullioned windows. Historically, the house served as a Quaker meeting house, but the interior has been altered and features late 19th-century panelling.
