Stoke Cottage

Stoke Cottage is a house that was formerly a mission house and inn, built in the late 18th century, with significant 20th-century renovations and additions. It is constructed from coursed rubble gritstone with ashlar dressings, featuring quoins, coped gables, and ashlar stacks with moulded caps. The roof is stone slated. The building has two storeys and three bays, with a prominent gabled bay in the center. It includes 3-light flush mullioned windows with leaded lights set in metal casements. The central advanced bay has single light openings on either side of the doorway, with bands at the cills of the ground and first-floor windows, and a broader band at the heads of the first-floor windows that connects to a round window in the gable apex. The central doorway is framed by a massive ashlar doorcase topped with a shallow bracketed hood, leading to a modern plank door. At the rear, there are modern ranges that run parallel to the main structure. Additionally, there is a former mission bell located to the east of the current doorway.
