Stable House

Stable House is a stable block, built around 1840 and later converted into a house, store, and workshop. The building is constructed from dressed sandstone with tooled margins. The west wing has concrete tiles and the north wing has Lakeland slate roofing. It is arranged in an "L" shape around a courtyard.

The building is two stories high and accessed from the courtyard. The inner face of the west wing features two blocked segmental-headed openings now containing a window and a mid-20th century door leading to the house on the ground floor, with two windows to the right. There are five first-floor windows, two of which are blocked, and a sill band is present. Renewed sash windows are installed. A segmental-headed carriage entrance, now containing doorways, is located below paired hopper-light windows on the first floor, forming an angle. The inner face of the north wing has a stable door, ground-floor windows with hit-and-miss glazing bars above, and first-floor windows with glazing bars and pivoted upper lights. The low-pitched hipped roofs have deep overhanging eaves and banded ridge stacks.

The outer faces of the building have three bays, with those on the north wing defined by pilasters. Three metal vent grilles are set into small rectangular recesses in each bay on the ground floor. The first floor has paired rectangular windows, with those in the middle bay flanked by single-light windows. The west wing mirrors this design, with paired pilasters; openings have been enlarged and new ground-floor openings created to accommodate sash windows. Both wings have a plinth, first-floor sill bands, and bands at the eaves.

The interior of the north wing retains stalls with ramped timber partitions, hay racks, and metal troughs. A lean-to shed attached to the south end of the west wing, along with outbuildings to the north and within the courtyard, are not considered to be of special interest. The group value of this listing is based on the architectural interest of the building itself.
