Description

Stowford Grange Farmhouse is a former stable block for Stowford Rectory, now the Stowford Hotel, which has been converted into a separate dwelling. It dates from around the 1870s, with a late 19th century to early 20th century addition. The building is constructed of stone rubble with granite and brick dressings, topped with a slate roof that has gables at both ends and a 20th century stack on the ridge. It is designed in a Gothic style.

The structure features a castellated tower on the left side, which is square in plan, and is connected to a stable range and a coach house on the right, likely added in the late 19th or early 20th century. The tower is two stories tall, while the stable and coach house are single-story, with a total of five windows across the range. The tower includes two flying buttresses on the left, a pyramidal slate roof above a battlemented parapet, and corner pinnacles. The front of the tower has a chamfered granite segmental doorway with a square-headed hoodmould and carved label stops. There is also a first-floor window that was formerly a loft entrance, featuring a square-headed hoodmould and label stops. A polygonal stair turret to the right of the tower has a slit window.

The stable range, which is slightly set back from the tower, consists of five bays and includes a buttress with set-offs marking the left bay. A 20th century gabled stone porch in the third bay leads to the original stable entrance. In the left bay, there is a four-light timber mullioned window with a king mullion, square-headed hoodmould, and diagonal leaded panes. The other three windows are two-light casements, also with diagonal leaded panes. The coach house features two arched coach entrances flanked by narrower doorways with flat arches, all having chamfered brick architraves. The interior has been modernized for its conversion into a house. The range was built by the Wollocombe family, who were the rectors of Stowford, and it was designed with the intention of being converted into a dwelling.
