Stangrove Hall

Stangrove Hall is a former farmhouse, now a house, dating to the 17th century with additions from the late 18th, early 19th, and 20th centuries. The house is timber-framed with a brick skin of the 18th century and has a plain tile roof. It follows a baffle-entry plan characteristic of the 17th century, with a later 18th-century wing added at the centre of the front, forming a T-shaped layout.

The front of the house is symmetrical with four bays. A projecting central wing, built around 1784, features a two-bay design and a doorway set to the right. The doorway has a classical surround from the early 19th century, with fluted pilasters that have moulded bases and caps, topped by an open pediment. The door itself consists of six raised and fielded panels, with matching panel detailing to the reveals. A sash window with five panes wide by four panes high and a cambered head sits to the left of the doorway, with an ashlar sill. Matching windows of the same type appear at first-floor level beneath an attic window of four panes wide by two panes high. The right-hand flank of the wing has a four-pane-wide-by-four-pane-high sash window with a cambered head at the ground floor, and a similar window above at the first floor. The left-hand flank is blank. To the right of this wing is a ground-floor window of six panes wide by four panes high, with a cambered head, mirroring those above. Further matching windows are found to the ground and first floors on the left. Two chimney stacks, each with two flues, rise from the ridge of the wing and on the right of the older 17th-century section. The right-hand gable end was refaced during the 18th and 20th centuries, showcasing a three-light casement window to the ground floor with a cambered head, and a matching window to the first floor, with a 20th-century sundial positioned between them. A single-storey wing, added to the right, features French windows and two 20th-century windows of four panes wide by four panes high. The left-hand gable end has a single 20th-century ground-floor window of four lights, with a cambered head, extending to a two-story wing. Rear projecting gabled wings date to the 19th century.

The rear of the original 17th-century section incorporates a 20th-century oak window with four lights, segmental heads to the lights, moulded mullions, and a transom. A similar three-light window is positioned above at first-floor level. To the left, a ground-floor window of six panes wide by four panes high is complemented by a first-floor window of four panes wide by four panes high.

Inside, the ground floor hall demonstrates a crossed arrangement of chamfered ceiling beams with stepped end stops resting on heavy, jowled wall posts. Similar jowled wall posts are present on the first floor, with close-studding to the walls and passing braces. One blocked three-light window with diamond mullions and a renewed sill are also visible. The attic features cambered tie-beams, arched braces, and wind bracing. Within the 18th-century wing, a moulded door surround, a six-panel raised and fielded door, and an ashlar chimney piece with arched panels and gadrooned ornament, paterae, and Greek key ornaments are noteworthy features.
