Description
The building known as the Stable to The Limes is a stable and bothy from the 17th or 18th century that incorporates earlier windows. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a steeply-pitched Collyweston stone slate roof with a coped gable on the east side. The structure has two storeys.
On the ground floor, there is a central 19th-century entrance with a keystone above, flanked by two-light ovolo-moulded mullioned windows that have a cornice above them. The upper floor has similar windows. The windows are casement openings with leaded panes. The eastern part of the building is lower, and there are external stairs on the west side leading up to a first-floor doorway, which has an architrave that includes a stone dated 1789, although it is set upside down. There is also one dormer on the north side.
