‘(4) Stiles Farm (73450605), 100 yds. N.W. of the church, is two-storied, with walls of squared and coursed rubble and modern slated roofs. The W. part of the house is of the 17th-century and the E. part is of the later 19th century; to the N. is an extension of uncertain date with later heightening. The gabled W. wall has, on the first floor, a square-headed 17th-century window of two lights with recessed and hollow-chamfered stone heads and jambs, and a hollow-chamfered label with returned stops. Over it in the gable is a small blocked light with chamfered jambs and head. Inside, two 17th-century three-light stone windows occur on the first floor in what was originally the exterior N. wall, now covered by the N. extension.’
