Stobsmill House, Gorebridge

Stobsmill House is a circa 1795 house of two storeys with an attic and basement. It is three bays wide, and has undergone later alterations and additions. The house is constructed of tooled coursed sandstone with droved dressings.

The east (principal) elevation is asymmetrical. It features a base course and an architraved doorway centrally positioned on the ground floor. The doorway has a two-leaf timber panelled door with an eight-pane fanlight, which may be a later 19th-century alteration. A window is located in the flanking bay to the left. A 19th-century canted window extends to the first floor in the flanking bay to the right, with a slate roof. Windows are set in the centre and outer left of the first floor.

The north elevation has two bays, with a glazed timber door positioned off-centre to the right on the ground floor, and a window off-centre to the left. The first floor has regular fenestration. A single-storey, two-bay, 19th-century addition projects to the right, with a blocking course and piended roof and regular fenestration. A timber glazed door is located in the re-entrant angle to the left. A single-storey, single-bay, flat-roofed, harled 20th-century addition is set to the outer right, with a single window. A window with a boarded timber door is visible on the west elevation.

The west elevation has irregular fenestration to the first floor and two symmetrically placed timber-framed dormers. Ground floor features are obscured by later additions. A central doorway in a later 19th-century addition has a timber panelled door with a fanlight, possibly dating back to the late 18th or early 19th century and originally from the east elevation. A small barred window is on the left. A 20th-century harled porch is in the penultimate bay to the left, in front of an earlier 19th-century droved sandstone lean-to outbuilding with a slate roof. There's a single window opening to the west elevation. Two doorways, flanked by windows, are on the right return. A 20th-century addition is located to the outer left, matching the one on the north elevation, and a later 19th-century addition to the outer right has a single central window set within a gable and a window to the left return.

The south elevation is constructed of random rubble. It has a single-bay gable end with a 19th-century canted window off-centre to the right on the ground floor, covered by a slate roof. Steps and a boarded timber door lead to the basement below to the left. A three-bay 19th-century addition is to the left with a piended roof and windows to the centre and outer right. A 20th-century lean-to greenhouse addition is on the left.

A boundary wall constructed of tooled snecked rubble with semicircular coping runs alongside the property.

The windows are primarily 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with bars on the west elevation. The roof is grey slate with lead ridges, stone skews, coped gablehead stacks with circular cans, and cast iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not inspected in 1997.
