Stonefield House

Stonefield House is a house dating from around 1780, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is constructed of stuccoed brick with a hipped slate roof and stuccoed end stacks. The house follows a double-depth plan and is in the Georgian style. It is two storeys high, with a symmetrical three-window front, and features canted end bays. A top cornice and blocking course are present. The round-headed entrance is sheltered by a Tuscan porch with fluted pilasters, an archivolt, and a plain fanlight above a half-glazed door with etched glass. The ground floor windows have sills and comprise primarily 8/1-pane horned sashes, with the right-hand bay having flanking windows to the returns. The first floor windows are 16-pane sashes. Later additions are present to the returns, with a single-storey extension to the right incorporating a canted bay window, and a 20th-century addition to the left. The rear elevation features three gables, the central one smaller, and a gabled wing to the right. The interior features an open-well staircase with turned balusters and newels, and ground floor rooms with flat cornices. The house was likely built in connection with the nearby Trent and Mersey Canal, which runs to the rear, and was formerly associated with a warehouse and wharf.
