Description
Stoke House is a house that has been converted into offices. It has 17th century elements but was rebuilt in the mid-18th century and extended to the left in the 19th century and to the rear in the 20th century. The building features flint and stone rubble on the right-hand return front with red brick quoins, and a red and brown brick front with orange-red brick on the left-hand extensions. It has hipped plain tiled roofs that are partly hidden by stone-coped parapets. The house is three storeys high with chimney stacks located to the left of the centre and on the right end. It is four bays wide, with a canted bay that rises through all floors to the left of centre. The windows throughout have replacement 12-pane glazing-bar sash fenestration under gauged-brick heads, with six windows on the first and second floors and three on the ground floor. There is a shallow flat-roofed canted bay on the ground floor to the right with a tripartite sash window. The entrance door has six fielded panels, with the top two glazed, set in a panelled reveal and surrounded by a pedimented wave with Doric columns and a pulvinated frieze. To the left, there is a 19th-century canted bay extension that projects forward, featuring a rendered parapet and cornice. This extension also has glazing-bar sash windows, with one window on each face of each floor under yellow brick heads and stone sills on brackets on the first floor. A decorative corbel arcade is present over the ground floor.
