3/48 Stockbridge House 28.8.1953 - II*

House, now old people's home, mid-C17 with some early C19 alterations. Sandstone, random in hall but coursed in cross-wing which also has copings on kneelers. Concrete tiles. L-shaped plan with hall and cross-wing, with central axial chimney stack and subsidiary stack (probably C19) above hall gable. Original front (now facing garden) altered in early C19 (sundial above doorway bears inscription 'Made by J.

Original rear of building is now entrance front and was remodelled in early Cl9 with a roughly central doorway with panelled and glazed door, a 3-light window on each floor to right, one similar window to left on first floor and, presumably, on ground floor though this is now hidden by a C20 outshut. Cross-wing projects to Left with a 3-light stepped window in gable, a 5-light mullioned window on first floor (both double-chamfered under hoodmoulds), a Cl9 4-light window to left on ground floor and, on right, 3 original windows related to staircase.
