Stable Block At Ashley Hall Farm

The stable block at Ashley Hall Farm is a Grade II listed building dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. The front of the building features two storeys and consists of nine bays arranged in a rhythm of 1.1.2.1.2.1.1, although some window openings have been bricked in. The central doorway is framed by a moulded stone surround, with a frieze and pediment above it. The second and eighth bays each have doorcases with stone surrounds and friezes. The end bays project slightly from the main structure. A central square air vent on the roof ridge has an opening shaped like a Venetian window. The window frames are from the 20th century and sit within openings that have skew-back arches made of gauged brick with keystones. The rear of the building is also symmetrical and features six windows, with the four central ones on the upper floor likely being original and having stone surrounds.
