The windows are primarily mullioned and transomed casements with leaded lights, including one original casement with lattice leaded lights. The roof is tiled. Stone Hall, along with Nos 36 to 40 (consecutive) and other listed buildings on the southeast side, as well as those in Well Lane and Nos 1 to 8 (consecutive) on High Street, form a group.
