Description

The stable block, located about 40 yards north of Etal Manor, dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of ashlar and squared stone, likely incorporating reused stone from Etal Castle, and features a Lakeland slate roof. The building is two storeys high and divided into two sections.

The right section has nine bays on the ground floor. The three central bays contain elliptical carriage arches with raised surrounds, impost blocks, and keystones, which are now filled with 20th-century glazing. Flanking these arches are three former stables with central doorways and 12-pane casements; the doorway on the right has been converted into a window. On the first floor, there are five 12-pane sash windows set in gabled half dormers.

The left section, which is likely older and constructed with different masonry, features a boarded door with an overlight to the left and three 6-pane sash windows, with two casement windows above. The building has a gabled roof with two brick ridge stacks. This stable block is included for its group value with the nearby manor.
