Stemster House

Stemster House is a mid to late 19th century, symmetrically fronted, two-storey house with an attic and five bays. It likely incorporates an earlier dwelling in its central portion. The south front and side elevations are harled, while the rear is constructed of coursed rubble, featuring ashlar margins and dressings.

The main entrance is through a centrally located door set in an advanced gabled ashlar porch, which has moulded lugged architraves. This porch is flanked by advanced gabled bays that contain tripartite windows with moulded architraves on the ground floor. The other windows are large and have thick wooden centre mullions. In the set-back lower outer bays, the first-floor windows break the wallhead beneath crowstepped pediments, and there are small attic windows in the gables of the second and fourth bays.

The rear of the house has a roughly E-plan layout, with two-storey, two-bay wings on either side and a central gabled wing that features a large window and an apex stack. The building includes multi-pane glazing, quatrefoil motifs in the pediments and gable heads, crowsteps, corniced end stacks, and slate roofs.
