Stocking Hall

Stocking Hall is a house consisting of two builds and a barn, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with a lower extension to the left that is likely also from the 17th century but has undergone later alterations. The barn is from the 18th century.

The main section of the house is long and narrow, constructed of red-brown local brick, featuring iron ties to the gable end. It has a steeply pitched swept pantile roof with catslides on either side or a gabled wing at the rear, and a central ridge chimney. The house has two storeys and three bays, with an outshot and a gabled staircase wing at the rear. The layout follows a central lobby-entry plan. A moulded string runs at plinth height, and there is a 20th-century door set in a wide painted surround with cyma moulding above. The entrance is topped by a segmental brick pediment with cyma recta moulding and modillions. Modern casements are located under brick modillion pediments, with a single-light window over the entrance, a 20th-century casement to the left, and a Yorkshire sash to the right. The eaves are stepped.

Inside, there is a half-turn closed-string oak staircase with short turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels. The main room features a chamfered beam with a tongued stop. The left extension, likely originally timber-framed, is clad in 18th-century red brick and has a pantile roof with a ridge chimney. It has two storeys and two bays, with a central half-glazed door, 19th-century sash windows, and 20th-century casements. The eaves are dentilled, and the end walls display posts and end plates with braces and a tie beam. The interior includes a beamed ceiling with a deep transverse beam featuring tongued chamfer stops.

The barn is built of red brick and has a pantile roof, with a wagon entrance and pitching doors. Stocking Hall is noted as an interesting example of early brickwork in the region.
