Description
Stadhaugh Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 16th century, with a slightly later wing at the rear that forms an L-shape. The building was restored in 1867 and again in the early 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered and partly lined to imitate ashlar, with a plaintiled roof adorned with crest tiles and scalloped bargeboards on all gables. The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with a three-cell main range.
On the ground floor, there are three windows: two small-paned sash windows and a matching casement window, while the first floor has one sash window. The entrance is through a mid 19th-century porch that includes a door with two glazed upper panels, and it has a moulded architrave and cornice, likely made of stone. A gabled dormer is also present. The internal stack has been rebuilt in white brick, and above the road gable, there is a 19th-century wind vane dated 1602.
The rear range primarily features old casement windows, while the front range has been significantly modernised internally. Inside, there is a moulded bridging beam in the hall and a notable early 17th-century overmantel with intricate carving, including flowers surrounded by guilloche work. The rear range reveals more of the original structure, including a first-floor ceiling with moulded joists and a blocked window with moulded square mullions, although the end portion of this range has been lost. The roof over the main range has clasped purlins, while the rear range has clasped and butt purlins, with both roofs featuring arched wind-bracing.
In 1718, John Smith bequeathed the property to the parish to fund a school, and it remained under the school's ownership until around 1950. Additionally, there are remains of a medieval moat on the property.
