Description

Stafford House is a 2-storey villa built in the Regency style, featuring a symmetrical facade with three bays. The structure is made of brick and covered in painted stucco. It has a shallow-pitched hipped slate roof with lead flashing and two stuccoed stacks that have plainly moulded caps. The eaves cornice is plain, adorned with decorative brackets. The facade has later stucco decoration, with four vertical, simply-moulded panels that divide the bays, each topped with scrolls and aprons, and a central ball motif. The entrance includes a wooden moulded entablature supported by a pair of engaged Doric columns, leading to a six-panel door with the upper pair fielded and a simple rectangular fanlight above. There are five recessed 16-pane sash windows with moulded surrounds, plain cills, and small keys. The east and west faces feature modern decorative stucco rosettes and a string course, with the west side being rusticated.

To the west side, there is a later 19th-century rear extension that is two storeys high and stepped down, with a plain end stack. The stucco decoration continues on the sides and rear but is simplified. Inside, there are contemporary six-panelled doors and door-cases, as well as a plain grey marble fireplace in the left-hand ground floor room. The staircase features a swept rail with a scrolled end supported by a cast iron Doric column, and there is a deep cellar with a sandstone dado.

Adjacent to the southwest is a contemporary coach house and stable block, which is also made of brick and has two storeys with a shallow slated roof and tile copings. The eaves are dentilated, and there is a reduced stack on the northeast side. The right side has a large depressed arched opening with sandstone hinge blocks and modern doors, along with 20th-century garage doors that include a recessed stable door to the left, featuring a cambered head. There is also a later external doorway on the northeast gable end, and two first-floor windows, one of which has been replaced.
