Description

The Stone House is a house dating from 1705, constructed of squared coursed ironstone with a tiled roof and stone stacks. It features a lobby entry and has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic, organized in three bays. The central doorway has a four-centred arch, a square hood, and diamond-shaped shops, leading to a 20th-century panelled door. Above the doorway is a sundial inscribed with "WT/1705." To the left, there is a three-light window with a square stone hood, wooden mullions, and an old iron casement. The right side has a similar three-light stone mullioned window with a square hood. The first floor has similar windows in the outer bays and a two-light stone mullioned window in the centre. The gable ends are coped with kneelers, and there are stacks to the right of centre and on the left gable.

An extension to the left, built in the early 18th century, uses similar materials and has one storey and an attic with one bay. It features two-light stone mullioned windows on the ground floor and a coped gable end with kneelers. There are two blocked one-light attic windows with moulded stone frames on the left side, between which is a stone plaque inscribed "TWH/1705."

Inside, there is a winder staircase opposite the entrance, stop-chamfered spine beams, and an open fireplace with an original bressumer and a 20th-century grate. The original roof structure remains intact. Adjacent to the house on the right is a low brick wall from the 18th or 19th century, which has 18th-century niches for straw bee-skips.
