Description

Hale House is a cottage, now serving as a boarding house at Stonar School, dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a stone slate roof and features stone stacks with moulded cappings. The building is two stories tall with an attic and has a four-window south front.

To the left of the front is a 20th-century planked door and a half-glazed door leading to a projecting gable. There is a 19th-century two-light mullioned casement with a hoodmould, along with two 17th-century mullioned casements in blocked doorways to the right. On the first floor, there is a three-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould to the left gable, one two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement, and two additional two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casements to the right, indicating some refenestration, likely from the 19th century.

At the rear, there is a lean-to extension featuring a nine-pane fixed window, with 20th-century lean-to additions on either side. The first floor has two three-light recessed hollow-chamfered mullioned casements with relieving arches above a continuous string course, as well as two full gabled dormers that contain two-light mullioned casements with hoodmoulds and coped verges. Inside, the property has chamfered beams.
