Description
Stone End is a farmhouse that may date from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the early to mid 18th century and mid 19th century. It features Flemish-bond brickwork on the cross wing, a rendered front wall on the stem, and rubble stone at the rear, topped with a tiled roof. The building has a 'T' plan layout, with a three-window stem and a tall two-storey cross wing that has a lower two-storey extension behind it.
The front of the house has a projecting wing on the left, with indented canted angles that create a large bay end. It has a plinth and three 8-pane sash windows with flat rubbed brick arches above. A plain brick string runs along the canted end only, with similar windows above. There is a stone dentil cornice with a plain brick parapet and stone coping that returns partway along the sides. The roof is hipped, and there are steps leading down to a cellar door. A slightly projecting chimney breast is located at the front of the left return, with a chimney above it.
To the right, there is a flat-roofed single-storey projection at the angle with the lower stem, featuring a 6-pane sash window and a 4-pane sash window on the canted face. Further right, there is a 2-light wooden casement window and a boarded door behind an open gabled single-storey wooden porch with carved bargeboards and lattice infill below the mid-rail on the sides. A similar window is to the right, with three similar windows above that rise slightly above the eaves into gabled dormers, also with carved bargeboards. The right return has a very wide projecting chimney breast with a smaller brick stack above on the ridge, and there is a brick chimney on the ridge on the left against the cross wing.
Inside, the main stem has a six-bay roof with a closed truss second from the left. To the right, there are open arch-braced collar trusses with a carved boss in the center below the collar, and two pairs of flat purlins with slightly curved, single cusp wind braces, topped with a square ridge. The first-floor ceiling has been inserted, hiding the truss feet, while the ground floor ceiling beams have a wide chamfer. The ground floor front in the cross wing features a moulded dado rail and plaster cornice, a door with six fielded panels, panelled shutters, and a marble fireplace surround with a moulded edge. The stairs have turned balusters and newels, with a moulded handrail that sweeps up to the landings.
