Stanwardine House

Stanwardine House is a farmhouse located in Stanwardine-in-the-Wood, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century, with some remodeling occurring in the late 18th or early 19th century, along with minor later additions and alterations. The building features narrow red brick in a random bond on the left side and larger red brick on the right, separated by a straight joint. The eaves have been raised in a third type of brick, except for the far left, which likely indicates the original width of the end stack. The roof is covered with graded slate.

The original structure consists of three bays with a full-height gabled projection at the rear, creating a T-plan. The building was extended to the right in the late 18th or early 19th century, at which time the eaves of the original part were raised to match the height of the extension. The house is two to three storeys tall with an attic, featuring three widely spaced windows. All windows are late 18th or early 19th century three-light casements, with those on the first floor positioned directly below the eaves. The remaining windows are segmental-headed, including an additional window between the ground and first floors on the right side.

There are three early 19th-century gabled dormers located in the middle of the roof slope. A mid-19th-century gabled brick porch is situated between the left and centre windows, featuring a plain 20th-century door (which may cover an earlier panelled door) and a semi-circular fanlight. To the left of the right casement, there is an infilled doorway with a straight joint to the left. The external end stack on the left has a dentilled band at the top of its base and two detached diagonal shafts, while a ridge stack aligns with the straight joint, indicating it was once an end stack. There is also an integral end stack on the right.

The gabled projection at the rear on the left likely contains the staircase, and there is a two-storey mid-19th-century red brick addition at the rear with a central ridge stack. Additionally, there is a single-storey twin-gabled mid-19th-century addition on the right gable end. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey in January 1987 but is expected to have interesting features. A 20th-century red brick lean-to attached to the rear of the two-storey mid-19th-century addition is not considered of special architectural interest.
