Stock Street Farmhouse

Stock Street Farmhouse is a house that dates from the late medieval period and around 1600, with alterations made in the 18th century, an extension in the late 19th century, and renovations around 1966. It features a timber-framed structure with an 18th-century facade of red brick laid in Flemish bond, while other areas are plastered. The roof is covered with handmade red plain tiles.

The main range, built around 1600, faces south and consists of four bays, with an external stack at the rear of the left bay and an axial stack in the second bay from the right, creating a lobby-entrance. To the right is a late medieval two-bay crosswing, which is a remnant of a hall house that once occupied the site. This crosswing has a 20th-century internal stack near its right rear corner. A late 19th-century wing made of painted brick is located at the rear of the main stack, forming a T-plan. There are catslide and lean-to extensions at the rear of the left part of the main range.

The house has two storeys and attics. On the ground floor, there are four 19th-century casement windows set in segmental arches, and on the first floor, there are five 19th-century casements. The central entrance features a flush door with a corbelled and gabled canopy topped with a felt roof. The front and both returns have 18th-century moulded plaster eaves cornices. The roof is hipped and extends the full length of the house, incorporating the crosswing.

The main stack has an ovolo-moulded cornice and 19th-century grouped diagonal shafts. The left rear stack is crenellated and roll-moulded above the eaves level and has been rebuilt above. The main range includes chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, and the joists are plastered to the soffits. The original elm floorboards are present, although some areas have been covered with softwood. The ceilings above the first floor are similar. There are 20th-century grates in two wood-burning hearths, with the right hearth of the axial stack blocked.

The crosswing features a chamfered binding beam with step stops and plain joists of horizontal section, with some original hardwood floorboards supplemented by softwood boards. It has a cambered tiebeam, although the braces to it are missing. The walls of the crosswing have been raised by approximately one metre to integrate it into the roof of the main range. Many battened doors are present, some faced with hardboard. The roof of the crosswing is a 18th-century clasped purlin roof.
