The Stone House

The Stone House is a house originally built in the late 17th century, although it has been altered over time. It features random granite rubble on a rough plinth and has a new roof. The house is two storeys tall and has a three-unit plan, with one bay to the left of the original doorway, which is now blocked. The windows are renewed casements, but between the two right-hand bays are two smaller windows at intermediate heights, which may have originally served as fire or stair windows. The current doorway is located in the gable, and above it are two surviving casement windows, one of which is in the attic. The gables are coped, and the former axial stack has been removed. Despite the external changes, the internal arrangement remains largely intact, featuring timber panelled partition walls, two Inglenook fireplaces—one on the rear wall and one placed axially—and a 17th-century staircase with a moulded string and rail, along with pierced wood balusters. The roof structure is a queen strut design.
