The Stile House

The Stile House is a house that likely dates from the 17th century but was largely rebuilt in the early 18th century and altered in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared marlstone with some ashlar dressings and features a Welsh-slate roof with brick gable stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and consists of two storeys plus an attic.

The front of the house has two windows and features three-light casements on each floor, which were altered in the 19th century to have Tudor-arched heads and ashlar flat arches. There is also a single-light window inserted to the left at the first floor. The former doorway, located to the right of centre, has been built up. The steep-pitched roof includes two flat-headed roof dormers with leaded two-light casements. The end walls of the main range are likely from the 17th century.

At the rear, there is a five-window range returning from the left, which retains some 18th and 19th-century casements. Inside, there is a large 17th-century inglenook fireplace, a stop-chamfered spine beam, an upper flight of winder stairs adjacent to the chimney breast, panelled shutters, and a butt-purlin roof with through tenons. The house is included for its group value.
