Description
Old Stone House is a house dating from the 17th century or earlier, with the main section built in 1676, as indicated by a datestone located high in the gable end facing High Street. The structure is made of limestone rubble and features an old clay tile roof. It has two storeys and a three-room plan with a back-to-back chimney. The house has modern doors and windows set beneath timber lintels. There is a 19th-century entrance beneath a flat hood supported by moulded brackets on the gable end.
Attached to the south-west side and sharing the same roof is a likely earlier section constructed from plastered timber frame. This part also has two storeys and attics. The south-east elevation features two side-sliding sash windows with glazing bars on each floor, along with a small hipped dormer window high in the roof slope.
