Description
Stone House is a house dating from the early to mid-17th century, with alterations from the 18th or 19th century and a late 20th-century addition. It is constructed of roughly dressed red sandstone and uncoursed red sandstone rubble, featuring grey sandstone ashlar dressings and a machine tile roof from the 20th century. The building has a T-plan layout with a projecting two-bay gabled cross wing on the left side. It is one storey high with an attic and has a central brick ridge stack.
On the right side, there are two 20th-century plate-glass square windows set in 19th-century openings, with the left window having a segmental brick head. The cross wing on the left features double-chamfered three-light stone mullioned windows on both floors, each with a coved drip mould above. The apex of the gable has a square datestone inscribed with "IC/16?9," which may refer to the year 1629 or 1639, and has a drip mould above it. The right gable end has a ground-floor three-light casement and a two-light attic casement. The late 20th-century addition is set back to the left and includes a boarded door on the right.
Inside, the house features collar and tie-beam trusses with queen struts and v-struts, timber-framed cross walls, and chamfered beams and joists with ogee stops. There is a large open fireplace with chamfered dressed sandstone reveals and a large lintel, as well as a winder staircase with a chamfered square newel post. The initials on the datestone may refer to Joseph Charlton, who occupied a one-hearth house in the village in 1662. The house stopped being a farmhouse in 1844. The cross wing is built of roughly dressed 17th-century masonry, while the hall range is made of uncoursed rubble, which may indicate a rebuilding from the 18th or 19th century.
