Stocken Farmhouse

Stocken Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick on a sandstone plinth, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof and features brick end stacks. The building has a rectangular plan, with the main front facing south-south-west and a service block that projects northwards from the rear. It has a cellar and three storeys.

The south elevation includes three windows with glazing bar sashes, which are adorned with gauged brick heads, two plat bands, and a dentilled brick eaves cornice. The central entryway features an early 19th-century transom light above a six-panelled door, framed by fluted pilasters and a frieze, with a patera at the tops of the pilasters.

Inside, there is a three-flight oak open well staircase from the early 19th century, which has two curved re-entrant half-landings and carved tread ends. The handrail includes a wreath design with a small circular ivory inlay. The south-west ground floor room contains a segmentally headed fireplace with an oak mantel that has a cornice, and on either side are two super-imposed square oak panels. The service block features a cast-iron water pump and a fireplace that encloses a large cast-iron sway, two bread ovens, and a dog grate, all enhanced by two large ball finials.
