Description
The farmhouse at Stanton Wick is a 17th-century building, dated 1666, with later additions from the 18th and 19th centuries, and 20th-century alterations. Constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble with stone and some sandstone dressings, some parts are rendered, and it has double Roman tiled roofs with raised coped verges and brick gable stacks. The layout is L-shaped, with rear additions attached.
The main façade has 2½ storeys and a 1:2:1 window arrangement. The central two bays project slightly, forming a porch and stair turret with a gable. The ground floor left and right bays have 20th-century metal casements; the centre bays feature a 3-centred arched door opening with a fine inner door, studded with moulded fillets, a moulded and stopped frame, and lintel. To the right of the door is a 2-light casement with a stone ovolo mullion, with similar casements on the first floor. A datestone with a pediment and sundial sits above. A smaller similar casement with a hood mould is in the gable, and continuous string courses run over the lintels of the ground and first-floor windows. The left return has an attic casement with an ovolo mullion and hood mould; a straight joint indicates a rear wing, which has a ground-floor 4-light ovolo-moulded casement with a hood mould, and two metal casements on the first floor. Another straight joint defines a single-storey C19 rear wing with two metal casements. The right return presents a similar casement and a blocked single light at attic level. The rear wing has a lean-to with a glazed door, a blocked window on the first floor, and an attached single-storey outbuilding with a single ovolo-moulded light and hood mould. The rear of the property has a ground-floor 2-light ovolo-moulded casement with a hood mould, two metal casements, and a blocked window on the first floor—possibly the remains of former cross windows.
The interior features a central entrance hall with one moulded beam and one chamfered and stopped beam. There is a 19th-century open-well stair. The front left room is fully panelled, dating to the early 18th century, with an original heavy plaster cornice and dado rail. The front right room has only the inner wall panelled. On the first-floor landing, a cupboard door features cock's head hinges, and a segmental-headed door leads to the first floor. A room to the left has a bolection-moulded stone fireplace and similar moulding on the door frame to the rear wing, along with chamfered and stopped beams. The rear wing has panelling on the east wall only; a similar door leads to the attic stair.
