Barn And Stable, 15M. East Of Gunnergate Farmhouse

The building is a barn and stable located 15 meters east of Gunnergate Farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 18th century for the barn and early 19th century for the stable. It is constructed of painted brick, resting on three lower courses of dressed sandstone, and features clay pantile roofs with stone ridges and gable copings. The stable has shaped kneelers, while the barn has block kneelers.

The barn is arranged in an L-plan layout. On the south face of the barn, from left to right, there is a stable door flanked by paired slit breathers, an inserted window, and a loft door that partly obscures two of the seven sets of figure-8-pattern breathers, which are located below a brick corbel table at the eaves. The roof is hipped at the left end. The east gable features boarded double doors with an overlight under a timber lintel, along with patterned breathers and a corbelled dove opening above.

The north face of the barn is largely hidden by an extension but shows two stepped brick courses at the eaves. The west face of the stable has two boarded first-floor windows and a mid-20th century window at the right end, with a brick corbel table at the eaves. The roof on this side is also hipped at the right end. The east face is obscured at the left end by barn extensions.

The openings have been altered in the mid to late 19th century, with five ground-floor openings that alternate between doors and windows, including boarded double doors at the right end, and four boarded first-floor windows. There are also two stepped brick courses at the eaves. A 19th-century one-storey extension at the north end of the stable, along with timber and iron extensions on the north and south faces of the barn, are not considered of special interest. The building is included for its group value.
