Stable And Adjoining Garden Walls Immediately To Resr Of The Old House

The stable and adjoining garden walls, located immediately to the rear of The Old House, date from the early 19th century. Constructed of brick, the stable features a plain tiled roof with parapets and kneelers at the gable ends. It is designed with two levels and has a dentilled eaves cornice. The main north elevation includes three bays with all openings being round-headed. There are four narrow multi-paned metal lights, a loft opening, and two stable doors, one of which is sheltered by a lean-to canopy supported by brackets. The gable ends display diaper ventilation patterns. The original lean-to at the west end has two openings in its west elevation, along with a small square hole that has a sandstone alighting ledge, and an opening with a diaper ventilation pattern on the north end. The garden wall, located to the south of the stable and east of The Old House, is also made of brick and features sandstone coping. This wall stands approximately 15 feet high and encloses an area of about 5,000 square feet. The stable and the large walled garden contribute to the original garden layout and service buildings associated with The Old House, and they are included for their group value.
