Description
Stonewall Manor, including the flanking garden walls, dates from around 1700 and features a remodelling of older fabric. The building has rubble walls with flush relieving arches, a stone-tiled roof, and three stone chimneys, along with three gables on the front. It stands three storeys high and has three windows, which are 2-, 3-, and 4-light casements with moulded stone mullions and dripmoulds. The doorway is plain, and there is a complex gable treatment at the rear.
On the garden front, there is a weathered string course over the ground floor, which returns and stops at each gable end above a blocked doorway. The ground floor windows and doorway appear to be modern imitations, although the 9-panel door may be original. The east front features a two-bay extension with a modern door surround and a 17th-century studded door. An extension at right angles, leading to the back yard, has an oak late 17th-century stop-moulded ovolo surround and a studded door.
The gable end facing the street has two-light wide ogee mullion windows with dripmoulds on the ground and attic floors, as well as a narrow vent window above with a chamfered hood. Inside, the manor imitates features from around 1600, including fireplaces with urn stop surrounds. Part of the hall has two bays of a decorated early 17th-century plaster ceiling. The rubble garden wall extends 25 yards to the east and 15 yards to the west, standing 7 or 8 feet high, with a door in the western stretch that has a late 17th-century ovolo surround.
