Description
Stobars Hall is a large house that began construction in 1829, with datestones indicating earlier dates of 1695 and 1866 at the rear. The building is made of coursed rubble with incised jointing and features moulded quoins. It has a graduated slate roof with towers on the south and west sides, and some chimneys are concealed within the merlons of the crenellation. The house has an 'L' shaped plan and is mainly two storeys high. The north wing and crenellation were likely added around 1866.
The east front has six bays, with the four central bays projecting forward. There is a panelled door in a Tuscan porch, accompanied by one tripartite sash window to the south and two tripartite sashes to the north. The first floor has four sixteen-paned sash windows. The southern bay features a tripartite sash on the ground floor and a sash without glazing bars above, while the northern bay has a single sixteen-pane sash on each floor. At the south end, there is a 19th-century lean-to greenhouse that retains its original fittings.
Inside, the front room to the north of the entrance hall contains re-used 17th and 18th-century panelling, and original cornices and doors are preserved throughout the building.
