Stonegreen Hall

Stonegreen Hall is a house, possibly dating back to the 17th century or earlier. It was faced and extended in 1704 and 1712 for the Mantell family. The structure has a timber-framed core, partly tile-hung to the rear, and has been extended with red and blue brick on a ragstone base, covered by a plain tiled roof. It is in an L-shape, with extensions to the original core.

The front of the house, facing the garden, was built in 1712 and is two storeys and an attic, with a plinth and a modillion eaves cornice to a hipped roof. There are stacks on either side and three hipped dormers with original leaded lights. The windows are regularly spaced with glazing bar sashes; five on the first floor and four on the ground floor, all with flying cornices. A central glazing bar sash replaces the original front door, and is flanked by Doric pilasters and a pediment. A large stair window and further glazing bar sashes are on the left return. The right return presents the entrance front, dating from 1704. It has two cross windows on each floor relating to the garden front. A lower two-storey and attic range has a ragstone plinth, a plat band, and a brick corbelled course leading to the modillion eaves cornice of the hipped roof, with stacks at the centre and to the right end. There are five cross windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor, with the central left window rebuilt. The entrance door has six raised and fielded panels and is within a wide, fluted pilastered doorcase with a triglyph frieze and cornice. Various leaden water downpipes, dated to the 18th century and brought in from elsewhere, are also present.

Inside, the entrance hall and staircase hall feature black and white marble flooring, round-arched doorways with heavy keying and moulding, and a passage entrance with a heavy entablature. The dog-leg staircase has a barley-sugar twist balustrade and ramped handrail, along with raised and fielded panelling. A brick bearing is dated 1704. Another, on the right return of the garden front, is dated 1712. A rear range contains a fine door dating back to the 17th or 16th century, and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
