Old Stable Block And Bothy To Cusworth Hall

The Old Stable Block and Bothy to Cusworth Hall is a stable-block and bothy, currently used as a woodman's store, with an attached toilet block and a disused cafe. It was likely built in the early 18th century for the Cusworth Hall Estate. The structure is made of rubble limestone and features a stone slate roof. It is a two-storey, elongated range with outshuts at the rear and large quoins.

The central doorway has ovolo-moulded quoins and a biarcuate lintel. The flanking windows have square-faced surrounds; the window to the right is boarded, while the one to the left has a casement with glazing bars. Above, there is an old boarded hatch flanked by slit vents. To the right, there is a quoined doorway with a 20th-century garage opening next to it and a casement with glazing bars above. The far left quoined doorway has an enlarged opening with a casement to its left, and above it, a rebated, square-faced surround has two inserted openings on its left. The building features shaped kneelers and gable copings.

At the rear, a rendered outshut serves as the toilet block and former cafe. The left return has slit vents and an inserted first-floor door with a wooden jib. Inside, some simple horse stalls remain, along with collared principal-rafter trusses and double purlins. The building is included for its group value.
