Description

Stoke Court is an 18th-century farmhouse located in Stoke St Milborough. The front is made of red brick with a cogged brick eaves course, set on an ashlar plinth, while the rest of the building features stone rubble. It has plain-tile roofs and projecting stone gable-end stacks on the front range with brick upper shafts. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a front range to the south and a large rear wing that includes a continuous lean-to on the west side.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar. The south front has a two-storey, three-window arrangement featuring timber 2-mullion and transom windows with various casement lights and segmental-arched lintels. The central entrance is a four-centred door with an ashlar surround, including capitals and plain pilasters with chamfered inner arrises, topped with a cornice. It is flanked by four stone steps with plain ramped parapets. The door itself is a four-panelled plain oak door with a cambered head over Gothic-style glazed top panels.

To the left, there is a lean-to end wall with one two-light casement on each storey. On the left return, to the right of the central stack, is a two-light casement with top lights. The lower floors and the west side of the rear wing are covered by a tiled lean-to that was formerly a malthouse, which includes a basement and various oak-framed window openings along with a plain boarded door. On the right return, to the right of the central stack, there is a leaded two-light casement with top lights, a brick segmental arch to the attic, and a barred cellar opening.

The east side of the rear wing features a two-storey, two-window range of timber 2-mullion and transom windows with brick segmental arches. The lower right window is partly obscured by a projecting single-storey brick and tile wing. To the left are one- and two-storey brick lobby extensions. There is a single dormer with a two-light partly leaded casement. The gable end of the rear wing has a two-light attic casement and a ground-floor two-light casement that is partly built over by a single-storey tile-roofed brick and stone pigsty. The interior has not been inspected.
