Description

Ark House is an 18th-century house located in Stoke St Michael. It is constructed from Doulting rubble and features a tiled roof with coped verges, moulded kneelers, and brick chimneys at each end. The building has two storeys and a gable-lit attic, with three bays and a mix of two- and three-light windows that have flat mullions and edge rolls. The ground floor on the right side has been altered to create a separate entry with a window. The central entrance consists of a ledged door framed by a block surround.
