Description

Lower Quick Stavers is a house that has been converted into three dwellings. It likely dates from the early 17th century, with a wing added in the late 18th to early 19th century, and further alterations and additions made in the 19th century and 1980s. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone and features stone slate roofs.

The layout consists of a hall and a cross-wing with a through-passage plan, and it stands two storeys high. The south front has a two-bay hall with a lower cross-wing on the right and an added cross-wing on the left. The hall was rebuilt and raised in the 19th century. On the left, there is a two-storey gabled porch that features a four-centred-arched doorway with a moulded surround, above which is a chamfered window with two arched lights. The porch includes kneelers, coping, and a finial, and inside, there are stone benches and a chamfered, quoined doorway with a deep lintel. To the right, on both floors, is a nine-light double-chamfered mullion window with arched lights and sunk spandrels. The building has plain gutter brackets, ashlar coping, and end stacks.

The right cross-wing projects and has a four-light window on each floor, similar to those on the hall, with a hoodmould and a transom on the first-floor window. This wing also has ashlar coping and a finial on the gable, along with a ridge stack. The left wing does not project and features 20th-century two-light windows, with a ridge stack.

At the rear, the hall has been refenestrated in the 19th century, with plain stone surrounds and tiestones around the door on the right, a central ground-floor window, and three windows above. The projecting left cross-wing has a four-light window on each floor, similar to the front, with hoodmoulds and gable coping with a finial. In the angle formed with the hall, there is a 20th-century pent porch with an imported chamfered, quoined, basket-arched doorway. The later wing on the right projects and has a door on the right, with two flat-faced mullion windows on the left return.

The right return of the cross-wing was rebuilt in the 20th century and features two four-light flat-faced mullion windows on each floor, along with an added 20th-century pent porch. Inside, the hall contains a 19th-century fireplace with a dentil cornice, and a doorway with tiestones has been inserted in the through-passage wall. One purlin is visible in the interior.
