Description
A former stable building, now a house, situated 15 metres north of Holywell Hall. The building dates from the mid to late 17th century and was converted into a house around 1980. It is constructed of coursed rubble walls with a renewed pantiled roof, incorporating stone-flagged eaves and a rebuilt brick chimney stack. The building is two storeys high and consists of five bays. The front wall has been rebuilt, featuring four battered brick buttresses and openings inserted around 1980. The steeply-pitched hipped roof has flagged eaves and a small, off-centre ridge stack. The returns of the building feature Tudor-arched doorways, each with a bullseye window positioned above the lintel, all set within chamfered surrounds under a dripmould. Fixed lights have been installed into the doorways; the left return doorway jamb is inscribed "CHS 83 JTT", while the bullseye window on the right return is blocked. A rear doorway has chamfered jambs with run-out stops, and the sill of a mullioned window has been reused as a lintel. The building is listed for its group value.
