Shown on O.S. map as Stanwardine Farmhouse. Farmhouse. Probably late C17 or early C18, partly remodelled late C18 or early C19 with minor later additions and alterations. Narrow red brick (random bond) to left with larger red brick to right of straight joint; eaves raised in third type of brick to earliest part except for far left, which probably represents breadth of original end stack; graded slate roof. Original house of three bays with full-height gabled projection to rear forming T-plan, extended to right in late C18 or early C19 at which time, or a little later, the eaves of the original building were raised to the same height as the extension. Two and three storeys and attic. three widely spaced windows, all late C18/early C19 three-light casements, those to first floor directly below eaves and remainder segmental-headed including extra window between ground and first floor to right. Three early C19 gabled dormers in middle of roof slope. Mid-C19 gabled brick porch between left and centre windows with plain C20 door (possibly over earlier panelled door) and semi-circular fanlight. Infilled doorway immediately to left of right casement with straight joint to left. External end stack to left with dentilled band to top of base and two detached diagonal shafts; ridge stack in line with straight joint formerly an end stack and integral end stack to right. Gabled projection to rear on left probably houses staircase and 2-storey mid-C19 red brick addition in angle to rear has central ridge stack. Single-storey twin-gabled mid-C19 addition to right gable end. Interior. Inspection not possible at time of resurvey (January 1987) but likely to be of interest. C20 red brick lean-to attached to rear of 2-storey mid-C19 addition is not of special architectural interest.
