Stoneham

House. Dating from the early 17th century, with deeds going back to 1630, the house was refronted around 1720 and extended in 1912. The front elevation is largely grey brick laid in a header bond pattern, with red brick dressings in a header band, while other elevations are constructed from Isle of Wight stone rubble. The roof is tiled, with two brick chimney stacks, one featuring a catslide extension to the rear. The building is a three-bay lobby entrance house of two storeys, with a single-storey right-hand extension. It features a brick cornice and platband. The front has two 16-pane sash windows with stone cills and rubbed brick voussoirs, although the left-hand ground floor window is now a wooden casement. A right-hand doorcase has a flat, 20th-century moulded wooden hood on brackets, a wooden pegged architrave, and a modern panelled door. To the right of this, a section of red brick in a header bond represents part of the original 17th-century structure, adapted around 1720 to form the service end, complete with a platband, 20th-century casements, and a door with a cambered arch. A 1912 single-storey extension is built with stretcher bonds. The left side elevation has a gable end with kneelers and features a small, rectangular window that has been blocked near the ground floor. The interior retains timber-framed walls with square framing. The former kitchen contains the remains of a stone surround and a brick circular bread oven, with joists featuring lamb's tongue stops. A chamfered spine beam and upright post are present, displaying two roll mouldings. The hall has an 18th-century cupboard and a half-winder staircase. There are some 17th-century three-plank doors with iron hinges, and an early 18th-century two fielded panelled door with HL (headless lion) hinges. The lobby includes an early 18th-century trap door in the ceiling with butterfly hinges. Remaining roof elements show wattle and daub infill, although many beams have been renewed. The building was heightened around 1720 when it was refronted.
