Description
Stone House is a house built in 1908 by P Morley Horder of London for Hugh Arden Crallan (1867-1929). It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a 20th-century addition that forms a matching rear wing. It is two storeys high and has a symmetrical arrangement of windows on the first floor, with a total of five bays.
The quoins are prominent, and the second and fifth bays project slightly, both being quoined and topped with coped gables. The first bay features a loggia supported by circular rubble columns with cushion capitals, leading to an inner part-glazed door set in an ogee-chamfered architrave, flanked by small windows. Above this, there is a three-light window in a tile-hung dormer. The other windows throughout the house are lead-paned.
In the second bay, there is a four-light mullion and transom window with a dripmould on the ground floor, and a three-light mullion window with a stepped hood-mould on the first floor. The third bay has a similar four-light mullion and transom window with a hood-mould on the ground floor, and a three-light mullion window on the first floor. The fourth bay features a round-arched ashlar doorway with a keystone and a raised panel above, which has a hood-mould that continues with the window to the left and a stepped over-panel. Inside this doorway is a square-headed ashlar doorway with a 20th-century glazed door, and above it is a two-light mullion window on the first floor. The fifth bay includes a four-light mullion and transom window with a dripmould on the ground floor and a three-light mullion window with a stepped hood-mould on the first floor.
There are square eaves stacks located between the second and third bays, and between the fourth and fifth bays. The house also features decorative cast-iron rainwater heads. Inside, high-quality original interiors are preserved, including an oak-panelled lounge to the left and a decoratively-panelled boudoir.
