Description
Stoke Farm House, also known as Manor Farmhouse, has origins dating back to the 16th century, though it has been significantly altered and extended in the 20th century. The building is constructed from local stone that is cut and squared, featuring ashlar dressings. It has a plain clay tiled roof over stone slate base courses, with coped gables and brick chimney stacks at each end.
The east elevation consists of two storeys and five bays. It has a plinth and an offset full-height corner buttress, with another buttress located between the third and fourth bays. The windows include hollow chamfer-mullioned designs without labels in bay one at both levels and in the upper part of bay three, featuring two 4-centred arched heads with incised spandrils. The lower window in bay one has an external iron grille, while the remaining windows are late 20th-century casements. There is a projecting gabled porch at bay four, which has a plain 4-centred arch and an old inner boarded door set in a modern frame.
On the north gable wall, there are two reserve-chamfered single-light windows. The south gable features two 16th-century windows at first floor level, separated by projecting chimney stacks. The attached garden wall incorporates the base of the tower from the medieval parish church, which was gutted by fire in the early 19th century. In the east return of the wall, there is a well-moulded chamfered arched doorway that may have been reused from either the church or the manor house. The property was acquired around 1547 by the Earl of Pembroke and sold in 1602; an engraving of the house from that time exists at Wilton House.
