Stoupe Bank Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings

Stoupe Bank Farmhouse and its attached outbuildings date from the mid to late 18th century. The buildings are constructed from coursed sandstone with light herringbone-tooling and feature a pantiled roof with stone ridge, copings, and kneelers, along with stone and brick stacks. The farmhouse follows a hearth-passage plan and consists of two storeys and an attic, with two wide bays. The downhouse is one storey with one bay and has a 1½ storey, one-bay outhouse extension.

The main house has a central six-panel door set in an alternate-block surround with a heavy downcurved lintel. It features three-light windows with a central opening sash on both floors, and a similar window in the raking dormer. The building includes curved kneelers and chimneys, with a cornice-banded brick chimney on the right end and a corniced stone chimney on the left end. The downhouse has a boarded passage door and a similar window, along with a ridge stack. The outhouse has a blocked door, a cross casement, and a glazed loft opening.

To the right, there is a three-bay, 1½-storey outbuilding that creates a near-symmetrical composition, featuring two stable doors and a small fixed light on the left, and two plain casements at the top right. At the rear of the house, there is a pent dairy extension.

Inside, the local range in the downhouse includes a peat slab, reckon, and oven with a separate fire. The houseplace and parlour have been combined into one space, with a panelled partition at the rear and quarter-round moulded beams. There is also a panelled firebeam and a short heck with a built-in settle.
