How old is this building?
OK, then, it's "an old stone building".
(If they had been, say, Greek or Roman, you'd use ancient.)

Even though "bâtisse" literally means "building", the English word may not sound very appealing to potential buyers, whereas in French "bâtisse" hints at an old but also large building with good potential - provided you have the money for the work with goes with the purchase of such properties.
Personally, I would go for more specific terms, depending on the said building. "large old stone farmhouse" is one possibility.
