Description
The Stone Town Council Offices, formerly known as Station Road No.15 (Stone Rural District Offices), is a council office building dating from around 1810. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped tile roof with a brick cross-axial stack. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the Georgian style, standing two storeys tall with a five-window range and a projecting right end.
Notable architectural features include a plaster plinth, a first-floor sill band, and modillioned brick eaves. The round-headed entrance is framed by a doorcase with fluted pilasters, blocks with paterae, and an open pediment, topped with a fanlight that has radial glazing bars above an eight-panel door. The windows are fitted with rubbed brick flat arches over twelve-pane sashes, though the window to the left of the entrance and two windows on the first floor are blind. To the right, there is a small single-storey wing with an attic; the ground floor has tripartite sashes, while the first floor features four-pane sashes in flat-topped half-dormers.
At the rear, the building has canted bays flanking another round-headed entrance. Inside, there is an open-well stair to the rear with stick balusters, and some doorcases and cornices are present in the ground floor rooms. This building was also the family home of John Masefield O.M., who was the poet laureate from 1930 to 1967.
