Stowey House

Stowey House is a detached farmhouse with a core dating from the 17th century, featuring alterations and additions from the late 17th century and around 1800. The building is constructed of squared and coursed rubble, with freestone and ashlar dressings and quoins. The north front includes an ashlar canted bay. The rear wing has a slate roof, while the main block has a 20th-century concrete tile roof. Originally an L-shaped farmhouse, a later block was added to the east. The east front was Gothicised around 1800, presenting an irregular three-storey facade with both advanced and recessed sections. The windows are either two or three-light ovolo mullioned windows with hoodmoulds and 19th-century casements. To the left, there is a Batty Langley style Gothick doorway featuring clustered shaft jambs, an ogee head, and a finial with Prince of Wales feathers, leading to a two-leaf part glazed plank door. The early 19th-century design includes a battlemented parapet and hipped roofs, with one reconstituted stone stack in the centre of the main block and a 17th-century stone stack on the rear wing. Inside, there is a cantilever staircase from around 1800, which features a glazed dome stairwell.
