Description

Stone House is a house dated 1712, with later alterations. The north gable was rebuilt in the late 20th century. It features a steeply pitched graduated slate roof, with kneelers and a rendered chimney at the north end. The building is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays on the front. There is a central panelled door set in a corniced doorcase, which carries an ornately framed and pedimented datestone; although weathered, the name "Stainton" can still be read. Each floor has two sash windows in stone surrounds, with the upper windows featuring glazing bars.

Local climate

Stone House sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,580 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
