Stonehouse Cottage

Stonehouse Cottage is a house dated 1670 but extensively remodeled in 1891. It is built of coursed, dressed, and squared red sandstone with a tiled roof, featuring a ridge stack and an end stack on the right addition. The cottage has a two-storey, four-window front divided into two parts. The larger left part is made of sandstone and has a moulded string at the first floor level, with three-light casement windows. There is a central entrance with a boarded door beneath a 19th-century Tudor arch lintel, inscribed with "A W M 16 70," and a small plaque above it inscribed "LJM 1891." The ground floor largely retains 17th-century features, while the first floor shows mainly 19th-century work, indicated by the non-fitting quoin junction on the left gable. This gable displays a range of 17th-century, labelled 2-, 3-, and 3-light chamfered mullioned windows. The rear elevation has a heavy lintel for an entrance that has been converted into a window, corresponding to the position of the front door, along with four 17th-century window openings, while the first floor was remodeled during the 19th-century phase.
