Description

Ovington Hall and the attached stables are a house and stable complex that likely has a medieval core, with elements from the 16th or 17th century and further alterations in the 19th century. The building is constructed of random rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring older masonry on the rear span and base courses of the stables, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The house is two storeys tall with a double span, and the front span dates from the mid-19th century. It has three bays, with an original door in the center that has a chamfered surround, a Tudor arch, and a hoodmould. There are canted bay windows on either side, each containing 8-pane sash windows. The first floor features similar sashes in two-light mullioned windows, also under hoodmoulds.

To the right, there is a two-storey stable with a granary above, which appears to have been largely rebuilt in the early 19th century, but it retains an early 14th-century window on the right return. The rear span displays irregular fenestration with a variety of early 19th-century sash windows. The back of the stables has two doors on each floor and two half-slatted windows. The roofs are gabled, with the rear span having a much steeper pitch.

Inside the rear span, there are chamfered beams with broach stops and an early 19th-century staircase.
