Stonehouse

Stonehouse is a marble manufacturer's house that has been converted into two dwellings. It was likely built around 1800 and has been extended and altered, with internal remodeling in the 20th century. The building features watershot coursed squared sandstone with gritstone quoins and a stone slate roof. It has a double-depth, double-fronted plan facing west, with an addition at the north end.

The exterior consists of two and three storeys with three windows on each floor. The three-storey main range is symmetrical and has a tall round-headed doorway with rubble voussoirs and remnants of a fanlight with radiating glazing bars, beneath which is now a 20th-century door. The windows are diminishing rectangular shapes, with the second-floor windows being shallow oblongs, all fitted with plain 20th-century glazing. There are gable chimneys, with the left chimney coupled with that of the extension. The right-hand gable wall features a blocked loading doorway at attic level. The two-storey addition on the left has a rectangular window in the centre of the ground floor, a small rectangular window to the left, and three large rectangular windows above, all with 20th-century glazing.

At the rear, the main range has a lean-to porch offset to the right, with a former round-headed stair-window to the left that now has 20th-century glazing and a blocked head. In the right-hand corner, stone steps wind around to a first-floor porch in the angle of the addition, with otherwise irregular fenestration featuring 20th-century glazing.

The interior has been altered. Historically, this building was the home of Paul Nixon, the owner of the Dent marble works, remnants of which, including a wheel-pit, can be found in the west end of the garden.
