Stokeley Farmhouse

Farmhouse, dating from the early 18th century, with alterations in the late 19th or early 20th century. The building is constructed of dressed slate rubble, with a slate roof featuring deep eaves. Axial and end stacks are present, with later brick shafts. The plan is L-shaped. The main front range appears to contain two principal rooms, with an entrance hall in between, likely housing a staircase, and a service wing extends from the right-hand end. The roof was replaced in the late 19th or early 20th century, and some interior alterations may have occurred at that time. The south front is symmetrical, with a 1:3:1 bay arrangement, and features a moulded plinth. It has mostly original 12-pane sash windows with thick glazing bars and exposed casing, with flat stone arches and keystones above the ground floor windows; these ground floor windows have red brick arches. A replacement 12-pane sash window is situated to the right of centre on the ground floor, and to its right is a circa-late 19th-century glazed garden door with 12 panes. A circa-late 19th-century stone porch with a canopy supported by shaped brackets shelters the central doorway, which has an 18th-century fielded 6-panel door with glazed upper panels. The east return has two 18th-century 2-light 12-pane sashes on the first floor, with thick glazing bars; the ground floor windows below have been replaced with 20th-century plastic top-hung windows, and a circa-late 19th-century stone gabled porch is situated between them. On the rear elevation, one original 12-pane sash with thick glazing bars is visible on the first floor to the right, with a slate-lined projection on the side of the wing containing an 18th- or early 19th-century 9-pane sash, and a small late 19th-century brick extension in the angle. Most other rear windows are 20th-century casements. The interior has not been inspected. This building holds group value.
