Stubbings House

Stubbings House is a large house set in landscaped grounds, with an adjoining stable block. Originally built in the mid-18th century, it was extended in the 19th century and altered in the mid-20th century. The house features a brick hipped tile roof and has a rectangular, double-depth central staircase plan. It stands two storeys high, with attics and a cellar, and has two end chimneys and three central chimneys, all with offset heads and clay pots. Hipped dormers break the eaves on all fronts, and the sash windows have glazing bars and segmental arch heads.

The entrance front is symmetrical with nine bays, although there is a blocked window on the right end bay on each floor. A late 19th-century enclosed porch with a semicircular head covers a pair of glazed doors, which conceal an 18th-century door with six fielded panels and a fanlight. The former stable wing, which is at right angles to the house, projects on the right and is one storey high with six bays, featuring a Venetian window in a central pedimented section that includes a clock. A hipped roof bellcote sits in the centre, supported by columns with a moulded cornice.

On the garden front, there is a moulded string course at first floor level and a brick modillion eaves course. This side is also symmetrical, with a five-bay centre part and two bays set back on either side. The ground floor has French casements. Inside, there is an open-well stair with stick balusters and a moulded handrail, 18th-century panelling in the dining room, and three early 19th-century fireplaces in the sitting room, adorned with fluted pilasters and leaf and scroll ornaments.
