Stainforth House

Stainforth House is a former house, now a residential home, built around the 1840s with later 19th century and early 20th century additions. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high and has four bays. The first bay is likely a later addition designed in the same style and is separated from the other bays by a Tuscan pilaster. The third bay projects slightly and features an entrance porch with pilasters that support a Tuscan entablature. On the ground floor, there are four windows to the left and two to the right, all with moulded surrounds and sash designs without glazing bars. The upper floor has four similar but slightly larger windows that are more widely spaced. The building has Tuscan quoin strips and projecting eaves with paired brackets beneath a parallel hipped roof. There are two stacks on the right side and one stack located between the first and second bays. The left-hand return features a two-storey canted bay window and a projecting wing to its left, which includes an upper floor billiard room with a hipped roof that is partly glazed and partly surrounded by a semi-octagonal decorative iron screen. Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase from the 1840s with turned balusters and a wreathed handrail.
