Stockholds

Stockholds is a house dating from the 15th century, originally designed as an open hall. In the 18th century, it was floored, extended, and converted into four cottages, before being renovated back into a single house around 1973. The structure features timber frames on brick sills, with the northern part weatherboarded at the end and apron at the rear, while the front has panelled plaster pargetting. The southern part from the 18th century is roughcast with a weatherboarded apron. The building has steep old red tile roofs, which replaced thatch in the 20th century.

It is a long, narrow building facing west, with the older northern part having one and a half storeys and the southern part having two storeys. The northern section includes a three-bay former open hall with an 18th-century parlour bay extension at the northern end, featuring a shared central chimney. The southern end has a two-storey block with a central chimney that was formerly two houses, replacing older service rooms. There is a catslide outshut at the rear on the southeast side.

The northern part has three windows, including two small gabled dormers on the roof slope and a small-paned glazed door leading into the northern parlour. The left window and the one at the northern end are two-light flush casements with cast iron opening lights. The southern part has two-light flush casement windows, with two on the first floor and three on the ground floor, along with a battened door on the left that has a small flat hood. A hipped, tiled single-storey garage is set back at the southeast. The roof of the northern part is smoke blackened and features a collar rafter roof that may have originally included a crown-post and collar-purlin. The central truss of the hall has heavy arched braces, which were formerly infilled above the tie-beam. The wall framing is exposed, and the 18th-century floor structure has been inserted.
