Description

The stables, located approximately 10 meters south-west of Upper Penalt, are dated 1701 and feature late 18th century and mid-19th century alterations. They are constructed from coursed and squared sandstone rubble, with a roof that is partly covered in double Roman tiles and partly in slate. The building is aligned in a north-east to south-west direction and extends to the north-west and south-west, forming an L shape.

On the south-east front, the stables are single storey with an attic and have raised verges. There is one shuttered window opening below the eaves to the right, and to the left, there are three square-headed doorways with ledged doors, each accompanied by similar window openings. A later addition to the left features another doorway flanked by two window openings. Additionally, there is a gable end of a wing to the left with a ledged door. The north-east gable end has a square-headed opening that contains four rows of three openings for a pigeon cot. The date of 1701 is inscribed on the kneeler of the north-east gable. Upper Penalt itself is not included in this listing.
