Description
Rick Stones is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. It features a timber-framed structure with painted brick and rendered infill, a sandstone rubble and brick plinth, a plain tiled roof, and a central chimney that has two star-shaped and one diagonal brick ridge stacks. The house has two framed bays and a lobby-entrance plan, with a single storey and an attic that includes dormers.
The framing consists of three square panels from the sill to the wall-plate, short straight braces in the upper corners, and collar-and-tie-beam trusses with queen struts and V-struts in the apex at the gable ends.
The front elevation has a regular arrangement. The ground floor features a 19th-century six-light window with chamfered wood mullions and a transom in each bay, which projects slightly on four shaped brackets and has tiled weatherings. Above each window, there is a hipped dormer with a four-light mullioned and transom window. The central entrance has a gabled canopy on shaped brackets and a stable door. There are attic lights in the gable ends. A two-storey brick extension from the 20th century is attached to the rear center, and there is an outshut at the rear of the left bay.
