Stable Block Linked To North Side Of Wellhill Farmhouse

The stable block, dating from the 18th century, is linked to the north side of Wellhill Farmhouse. It is constructed from coursed squared magnesian limestone and features a pantile roof with a course of stone slate over the eaves. The building has a rectangular plan and is two storeys high with three symmetrical bays. The centre bay projects forward and has altered doorways on the ground floor, with a blind ogee-arch above. The outer bays feature first-floor sill bands beneath simple Diocletian windows, along with altered doorways on the ground floor. The first bay includes a cruciform pseudo arrow-slit at ground level. The right return wall has a similar feature at ground level, with a Diocletian window above that has a loading door instead of glazing. An added bay at the left end contains a small window on the ground floor, and the gable wall has external steps leading to loft doors.
