Description
The Former Stables to Wootton House is a late 17th century stable block that was built at the same time as the house. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped roof made of old clay tiles. The building has ten bays and a central pediment, rising to two storeys. There are eight windows on each floor, and a central carriageway that has since been blocked. Additionally, there is a 20th century one-storey lean-to attached to the structure. This building is included for its group value with Wootton House.
