Description
Stonards is a house dating from around 1700, constructed of red brick in English bond with several blue bricks. It has two storeys and attics, featuring an original rear outshut beneath a catslide continuation of its gabled old red tiled roof. There are internal gable chimneys at each end. The front of the house is symmetrical with three windows, a brick floor band, and a dentilled brick eaves cornice. It includes three hipped dormers with two-light wooden casement windows and flat gauged arches over the ground floor windows. The ground floor has sash windows with 19th-century sashes, and a central six-panel door topped with a flat hood on shaped brackets. There are also two modern two-storey brick and tile extensions at the rear. This farmhouse is noted for being unusually early in its brick construction and is part of a picturesque group with farm buildings.
