Stone House Antiques

Stone House Antiques is a house over a shop, dating to the 17th and early 19th centuries, situated at the corner of St Mary’s Street and Friday Street in Painswick. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with a stone slate roof. The front on St Mary’s Street is slightly set back from the property to its left and returns on a segmental curve to a coped gable facing Friday Street. To St Mary's Street, the house presents two storeys, a cellar, and an attic. There is a plank door with a transom light, set within a pilaster surround with a fascia, and a 20th-century shop front with many panes of glass. Above the shop are two 12-pane sash windows, and a gabled dormer window with 2-lights and glazing bars. A simple cornice runs to a parapet blocking course, and the roof has a hipped end. The return elevation features a 12-pane sash window on both the ground and first floors, followed by an earlier section with a saddle-back coped gable. This gable section has mullioned casement windows: a 2+2 arrangement with a king mullion on the ground floor, a 3-light window on the first floor, and a 2-light window in the attic. The gable is set to kneelers, and a moulded string course runs across the first floor, extending to the property adjoining to the right.
