Stables, Tack Room And Trap House About 25 Yards East Of Brook Farmhouse

The stables, tack room, and trap house located about 25 yards east of Brook Farmhouse were built around 1866. This stable block forms one side of the entry to the farmyard. Constructed of brick with a tiled roof featuring ridge ventilators and an end stack, the building has an L-plan layout. The cart horse stables are aligned north/south, running parallel to the road, and return towards Brook Farmhouse, including a loose box, trap house, stable, and tack room range.

The building is single-storey. The west elevation facing the farmyard has two stable doors for the cart horse stables, with a slatted opening in between. The elevation facing the road has no windows, similar to the neighboring stables attached to the cow house and cow shelter on the other side of the farmyard entrance. Both the north and south gables feature matching thermal windows. The west gable of the tack room, which faces Brook Farmhouse, has a central stack, a 6-pane window to the centre right, and a ledged door to the right. The loose box at the junction of the L-plan projects southwards and has a stable door facing Brook Farmhouse.

Inside, there are king-posts with raking struts in the cart horse stables. This building is part of a model farmstead complex, which is adjacent to Brook Farmhouse and is reputedly built by the Eastnor Estate. It is included for its group value as a complete example.
