LEEDS

SE2736NE COTTAGE ROAD, Far Headingley 714-1/59/656 (South side) Stables, boundary wall and gate piers to No.46

GV II

Stable, now outbuilding, with boundary wall and gate piers. Datestone (possibly re-set) of 1835. Coursed squared gritstone with herringbone tooling, hipped slate roof, monolithic stone gate piers. Stables: 2 storeys, 2 bays; facade to road has a cast-iron coal shute door left, small window above; right return has a datestone inscribed 'GH/1835' over C20 garage doors, square window above. Attached walling to west: approx 2m high and 15m long, round coping, ramped down each side of gate piers which have shallow pyramidal capstones. INTERIOR: not inspected. The datestone was possibly removed from the house when later C19 alterations were made to the garden front; 1835 is the likely date for the building of house and outbuildings on a plot purchased when Headingley Moor was parcelled up for auction in 1831.
