Description

St Mary's is a house located on Main Street in Stenton, dating from around 1820. This two-storey, three-bay structure features a classically detailed facade that likely incorporates elements from an earlier house and is adjoined to another building at a right angle. The exterior is constructed of pink sandstone ashlar with droved dressings and an eaves course, while the sides are finished in harl-pointed rubble.

The northeast elevation showcases a central doorpiece with pilasters and a cornice, featuring a flush nine-pane door topped with a decorative fanlight. Above this, there is a first-floor window with a tablet over it, and sash and case windows in the flanking bays on both floors. The end elevations are blank, with wallhead stacks visible. The windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern, and the roof is covered with grey slates in a piend style. Some original chimney cans have been retained.

In front of the house, there are low rubble retaining walls topped with ashlar coping and wrought-iron railings that enclose the garden. A decorative wrought-iron gate, which bears the name "St Mary's," provides access. Additionally, there is a coped rubble garden wall on higher ground to the south.
