Stone Farm House

Stone Farm House is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, with its core dating from the 15th or early 16th century. It underwent significant alterations around 1600, as well as changes from several other periods. The house has two storeys and partially attics, featuring timber framing and rough-cast walls, with much of the ground storey walling built in 19th-century red brick. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, and there is a gabled casement dormer. A central 17th-century chimney made of red brick has a saw-tooth pattern shaft, which was capped in the 19th century. The windows are 20th-century small-pane casements.

At the lobby entrance, there is a single-storey gabled porch from the 19th century with a glazed panelled door. The house retains a residual open hall, which is the central part of the structure. Its lightly blackened coupled-rafter roof is nearly intact, and a single post, which was once shafted, indicates where a missing open truss used to be. Major alterations around 1600 included the insertion of a large chimney near the cross-passage and the addition of a fine first-floor structure to the hall, featuring ovolo mouldings on the bridging joist and common joists, which have stepped stops with unusual enrichment.

The earlier service end was rebuilt as a cross-wing with a clasped-purlin roof. Additionally, there is an arch-braced open truss of 16th-century style in the block beyond the cross-wing, likely a remnant of a much-altered 16th-century service range. A single-storey dairy wing was added to the rear in the 17th century. Inside the parlour, there is a corner cupboard from around 1800 that features rustic enrichment.
