Stuart House

Stuart House is a late 17th-century dower house for Woolley Hall, with additions and alterations from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, originally designed as a two-cell house. A projecting bay was added to the front at the junction of the two cells, along with another bay added to the left end.

On the first floor of the second cell, there is one surviving 17th-century three-light double-chamfered mullioned window with a cyma-moulded hoodmould. The remaining windows are from the 19th century, featuring deep lintels and projecting sills. A projecting 20th-century bay on the left is supported by a chamfered column and includes a canted oriel and a parapet that extends over the main roof. The front pitch of the roof has three gabled dormers, with a coped gable to the left that includes a stack, and another gable stack to the right.

The added 19th-century bay, which is slightly set back, has a doorway with monolithic jambs and an overlight, along with a square window featuring a lintel and sill. All windows have been altered to casements. The rear of the house, now the entrance front, has an added bay to the left with two windows that retain small-pane sashes, and one larger window above on the first floor. The main house projects forward and has a three-bay facade with a central added porch featuring a Tudor-style doorway in the left return. To the right, there is a projecting bay window with a 16-pane sash, and the first floor has small-paned sashes.

Inside, the interior has been largely altered, except for one room at the rear of the second cell, which features an 18th-century bolection-moulded stone fireplace, a window with raised-and-fielded panelled shutters, and two stop-chamfered spine beams.
