Stane House the Old Rectory

Stane House, also known as The Old Rectory, is a house built in 1784 for the Reverend Thomas Woodruffe. It features red brick construction with a hipped plain tiled roof and a hipped slate roof over the rear range. The building has two storeys and attics above a plinth, with end stacks. The main front faces at right angles to the street and has a three-bay elevation topped with a modillioned eaves cornice.

In the attic storey, there are three six-pane sash windows, while the first floor has three 12-pane glazing-bar sashes set under gauged brick heads, and two windows on the ground floor. A central portico, which is rendered and has a flat roof, features double doors that are glazed and topped with a fanlight, all framed by fluted paterae. The inner doors are also glazed.

On the right-hand return front, there is irregular 19th-century fenestration, including a ground floor bow window with receded mullions above a basement storey. To the right, there is a two-storey service range with tall stacks and a hip-roofed pergola attached to the front. The new entrance front, added around 1927, includes a new doorcase leading to double doors under a fanlight, supported by an open pediment on scroll brackets and framed in fluted surrounds. The first floor of the service wing, set back to the left, is tile hung.
