Stable Block And Attached Cottage

The stable block and attached cottage at Healey Hall date from the 17th and 18th centuries, with the stable block being built in the early 19th century. The cottage is constructed from rubble with dressings, while the stable block features squared stone with ashlar dressings, topped with a 20th-century Hardrow tile roof.

The elevation facing the stable yard is divided into three sections, each two storeys high. On the left, there is a three-bay stable with central boarded double doors and a four-pane overlight, flanked by late 19th-century four-pane sash windows. Above these, there are circular windows, all set in chamfered surrounds. The stable has a moulded eaves cornice and ventilation louvres on the ridge. The left return displays a boarded door beneath a boarded pitching door, also with a four-pane overlight. The central section features a gabled bay with an external stone stair leading to a four-panel door, with a boarded door beneath the stair. The right return has one bay with 16-pane sashes, while the right part, which is set back, consists of two bays with a central renewed door in an alternating-block surround; the windows in this section have been altered in the 20th century.

The rear elevation of the stable includes two circular windows and a central gabled bay that showcases massive roughly-shaped quoins and a cut-back brick beehive oven. The cottage to the left has a blocked first-floor door in a heavy block surround.

Inside, the central part of the range, which serves as a tack room with a bedroom above, features a large ground-floor fireplace with a massive chamfered lintel and a domed brick oven on the left. There is a blocked doorway visible from inside the stable, which has a flattened triangular head in a chamfered square frame. The roof of this section retains an old principal-rafter truss with a high collar, ridge, and two levels of purlins. This central part of the range is the northern end of the main block of the old Healey Hall, which was largely demolished in 1834. The altered part of the cottage is included as it forms an integral part of the range.
