Stonelees

Stonelees is a house that dates back to the 15th century and was rebuilt in the 16th century. It features a timber frame with exposed panelled framing on the ground floor, red brick infill, and close-studding with plaster infill on the first floor. The roof is plain tiled. The building has a cross-passage plan consisting of four bays, including a smoke bay, and incorporates a service wing from an earlier hall house. It stands two storeys tall on a plinth and has a continuous jetty supported by brackets, with the end right bay framed separately and featuring a renewed dragon post. The hipped roof has gablets and a cluster of stacks on the left side.

On the exterior, there are three-light mullioned windows to the left and an oriel window to the right, which has an enriched pendant frame that may date from the 20th century. The upper floor has four mullioned windows to the centre right, and the ground floor features leaded wooden casements with mullions from the 20th century. The centre right has a four-centred arched doorway with enriched spandrels leading to a 16th-century door with 15 panels. The end right bay is framed separately from the rest of the house, with duplicated main posts to the right of the door, and the two ranges are strapped together with bifurcated iron ties.

Inside, there are two depressed arched doorways leading to the service wing, which have fernleaf-enriched spandrels and moulded ship-lap doors. The ceiling has double bead and fillet moulding with a beaded dais beam, and there are two depressed arched doors to the right of the stack that lead to the parlour and stair, both featuring rose-enriched spandrels. The wooden chimney bressumer has a four-centred arch with thistle and fernleaf and banded enrichment. The parlour has beaded beams and joists, while the upper floor has enriched spandrels on the doors and an enriched chimney bressumer. The roof includes cambered chamfered tie beams, which may have originally had crown posts. The stack has been inserted into the smoke bay, and the duplicated framing in the end bay indicates that the main range represents a 16th-century rebuild of an earlier hall and parlour wing, which the service end still retains.
