The west front of Stoke Court, well-framed by gates from which lead a straight drive, presents a Queen Anne front of mellow red brick to the world. A handsome pair of shaped gables, each above two generous bays, project before a centre of five narrow bays with a central door below a triangular pediment. On top of the house sits a square open lantern – almost an afterthought – that is dwarfed by the swagger of the Dutch gables to each side of the façade. An internal rainwater head bears the date of 1702, suggesting that the front might have been created at this time, although at the rear of the house is evidence of the early seventeenth-century property that formerly occupied the site.

Inside, panelling of the early seventeenth century still survives, incorporated in a fire surround in a southern room, whilst the staircase, a handsome dog-legged stair with closed-string, has four turned balusters forming the newel and surely dates from the period of the east front.

Stoke had belonged to an eponymous family until, in the fifteenth century, Jane, the daughter and heiress of William Stoke of Stoke, married John Foxe. After the death of George Foxe in 1587, his nephew, Edward Foxe of Ludford sold Stoke to Edward Whitchcott for £1,225. The Whitchcotts, or Whichcotes, were scions of a family seated at Harpswell in Lincolnshire and they, in turn, sold Stoke in the eighteenth century to Thomas Smith, or Smyth, a son of the Rev. John Smith, Vicar of Tenbury, who claimed descent from the Smiths of Campden, Gloucestershire.

Thomas Smith served as Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1714 and Sheriff of Shropshire in 1739. He died in 1750, at the age of seventy-two, and was buried at Burford. His son, John, died childless and so Stoke, together with other properties in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, passed to his daughter, Anne, who, in 1738, had married Penry Williams, of Penpont, Breconshire. In 1851 the house, then known as Stoke Hall, was still in the family, regarded as the seat of Philip Penry Williams.

Stoke Court, together with four farms, was later bought by the banker David Evans (1828–1908) of Ffrwdgrech, Breconshire.
