Stanwick Hall

Country house with origins in the 17th century, substantially rebuilt in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with minor alterations and additions in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Constructed from squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and featuring Collyweston and Welsh slate roofs. The building follows a double-depth plan and comprises two storeys with a basement and attic.

The entrance front has five window bays. A 18th-century door, now partly glazed, has a gauged stone head with a stepped keyblock, approached by a flight of steps. Sash windows have gauged stone heads and stepped keyblocks. A projecting plinth and raised string course run between the floors. Rusticated ashlar quoins are present, and the moulded cornice incorporates the heads of the keyblocks to the first-floor windows. A gabled roof, with a central well, has ashlar gable parapets, kneelers, and rebuilt ashlar stacks at the ends. The roof also features three flat-topped dormers with casement windows.

The garden front, at the rear of the entrance front, has a similar five-window range of sash windows, this time under plain stone lintels with keyblocks. A large, central, arch-head staircase window is prominent. Two 17th-century three-light stone mullion windows are visible in the basement. The plinth, string course, and cornice echo those on the entrance front. Late 19th-century, single-storey extensions are attached to the left and right, both featuring Welsh slate roofs.

Internally, the outer hall and a room to the left have fielded panelled dados. The staircase was replaced in the early 20th century after a fire. A room to the left of the entrance contains a fireplace, likely dating from the early 18th century, made from local Raunds marble. A similar fireplace, now painted with panelled decoration and a reeded keyblock, is found in a rear room. A kitchen to the right of the entrance retains fragments of fielded panelling. A central first-floor room is distinguished by its full-height 17th-century panelling, including a scroll-decorated frieze. A marble fireplace, similar to those on the ground floor, is also present. The bathroom to the right also has a fireplace with an early 19th-century cast iron basket. An understairs cupboard retains fragments of early 18th-century panelling. The basement, originally domestic offices, incorporates an open fireplace with a large stone sink, its surrounds similar to those at No. 13, Manor House, Church Street, Ringstead.
