Shustoke House Farmhouse And Attached Stable

Shustoke House Farmhouse and the attached stable is a cottage with an adjoining stable block, built in 1772. It is constructed from red brick in an English garden wall bond and features a plain-tiled gable roof with parapet gables on kneelers and a dentil eaves cornice, along with a ridge stack. The building is arranged in an L-plan, consisting of a north-south cottage range and an east-west stable block.

The cottage has one storey and an attic, with the north gable end displaying a blocked oculus above a 20th-century wooden casement window. The ground floor includes a doorway framed in coursed and dressed sandstone with a keyblock and stop-chamfer, leading to a bead and quirk boarded door. The east side wall features a gable dormer with a leaded light and three ground floor windows set under segmental arches.

The stable block, which is contemporary and made from similar materials, also has one storey and an attic. Its south wall has three stable door openings with split doors, all under segmental arches, and three similar arches for three iron casements. The interior includes three stalls for horses, although the partitions have been removed. At the west gable end, there is a pigeon loft containing approximately 54 nesting boxes with perches. Part of the stable has been converted for domestic use. The cottage and stable are likely contemporary with the model farm range located opposite to the south, which is also dated 1772.
