Description
Stagden Cross Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 16th century and later. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring 20th-century pargetting and peg tile roofs. The building has two storeys and a long rectangular shape, consisting of a gabled crosswing at the west end, a two-storey 'hall' block, and a 20th-century extension at the east end with a hipped and gablet roof. There is an additional gable on the front, likely added in the 17th century. The windows are 20th-century casements with small panes, and the entrance door, also from the 20th century, has a flat hood supported by brackets in a 17th-century style.
The roof ridge features a stack with four detached octagonal shafts at the center, while a similar stack with two shafts is located against the west side of the crosswing, which was formerly a jettied service wing from the 16th century. The hall is an early 17th-century structure made with reused timbers and jowled posts. The former east wall of the hall has an ovolo mullioned window on the first floor.
