Coach House And Stables At Hales Farmhouse

The coach house and stables at Hales Farmhouse date from the late 18th century. They are constructed of red brick with stone hinge blocks and feature a plain tile roof. The building has two levels, with the upper level ventilated by a lozenge pattern of perforated brickwork, while two additional patterns to the right are blocked, and the left-hand one is X-shaped. On the ground floor, there are two large entries, with the right-hand entry featuring an elliptical arch. To the right of this entry, there is a stable door flanked by windows. The south gable end has a double flight of stone steps leading to the gable entry. Inside, the building has a four-bay roof, one brick partition wall, and two King-post trusses with cambered tie beams. The loft was originally used as a granary and was later used for Band of Hope meetings.
