Description
Stonehouse Cottages is a pair of houses built in the late 17th century, with alterations from the early 18th century and 19th century. The structure features dressed sandstone from the 17th century and red brick from the 18th and 19th centuries, topped with plain tile roofs and a central brick stack. The layout follows a T-shaped lobby entry plan.
To the right, there is a two-storey, single-bay brick range that includes a storey band, a segmental-headed casement window on the ground floor, a gabled casement window on the first floor, and a segmental-headed door. To the left, a gabled stone crosswing has a three-light chamfered mullioned window on both the ground and first floors, along with a 19th-century segmental-headed casement in the attic. The front gable has been rebuilt in 19th-century brickwork, while the rear gable retains a timber-framed roof truss with two collars and vertical struts. Inside, the cottages feature chamfered and stopped ceiling beams.
