STADHAMPTON THE GREEN SU6098 (North side) 14/158 D'0yley's Farmhouse

GV II

Farmhouse. Early C17, remodelled mid/late C19. Limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, and timber framing with plaster and brick infill; old plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. L-plan. 2 storeys plus attics. Symmetrical 3-window rubble front, with chamfered plinth, has a central gabled ashlar porch sheltering a C17 doorway with a 4-centred arched ovolo-moulded surround, recessed spandrels, and a C19 ribbed door. Outer bays have 3-light Cl9 stone-mullioned windows and there is a matching 2-light window over the porch. Roof has 3 gabled C19 roof dormers. End walls are of rubble with remains of timber framing at first floor, and have massive brick chimney projections, each tapering to 2 diagonal shafts. Rear wing, returning to left, has first-floor timber framing with heavy diagonal braces to the lower panels, and is contemporary with the front range. Interior not inspected but likely to be of interest. Front probably also had first-floor framing. Occupied by Timothy D'Oyley before 1657. (V.C.H.: Oxfordshire, Vol.VII, p.82).
