Stables To Former Farm At Holly Bank

The stables, dating to 1856, are located at Holly Bank Farm on Haughs Road, Quarmby. They are constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a pitched stone slate roof and coped gables featuring stone finials. The building is three storeys high, with a band running above the ground floor. Rusticated quoins are present, rock-faced to the ground floor. The central bay projects forward and is capped by a shaped gable supported by kneelers, topped with a weather-vane. The ground floor features three windows with glazing bars and two planked doors with fanlights. A central planked loading door is present, above which is a semi-circular fanlight with glazing bars and a keystone. A date panel and chamfered ventilation slits are situated above the loading door. A round-arched window is set within the shaped gable. Blind round-arched panels flank the first floor above the ground floor windows. Two boarded-up oculi, each featuring four keystones, are positioned above the blind arches on the second floor.
