Stables And Groom'S Cottage Attached To Halton Castle

The stables and groom's cottage attached to Halton Castle date from the 17th or 18th century. They are built from roughly dressed stone and feature a stone slate roof. The structure is a single range that is two stories on the right side and becomes single-storey due to the rise of the land, with a total of nine irregular bays.

On the left, the cottage and tack room have an early 19th-century doorway with a chamfered surround, flanked by two-light windows that also have chamfered surrounds. To the right, there is a three-bay stable with a two-leaf door set in an alternating-block surround, along with larger two-light 19th-century windows in chamfered surrounds.

Further to the right, outside stone stairs lead to a granary, followed by another stable that features a two-leaf door in an alternating-block surround and flanking half-slatted windows. There is also a Victorian wall letter-box on the right and a dovecote with five holes and alighting ledges on the right return. The building has a steeply-pitched gabled roof with reverse crow-stepped gables.
