Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Name of Property
Stockton House
Location
At right-angles to the road on its SE side towards the crest of the hill shortly beyond the entrance to Powis Castle.
Exterior
History: Built c1830, and associated with the Powis Castle kennels in 1840, so probably built by the estate to house a key worker.
Exterior: Brick with slate roof: single central stack. 2 storeys, 3 window range, symmetrically planned with central entrance and short central rear wing. 6-panelled door in trellised porch flanked by 12-pane sash windows to ground floor, and with 9-pane sash windows above, with flat arched brick heads.
The house retains its original character virtually intact - a well-detailed example of its type, which is of additional historical interest for its association with the Powis Estate.
