Description

The Duke of Bedford's Stables is a building originally constructed as a range of stables, likely from the 17th century, but it has undergone significant alterations and is now converted into a house. It is a long, one-storey stone structure with an attic, featuring a modern brick front. The building has shaped gable ends and a modern concrete tile roof with dormers. The centre of the façade projects forward and includes a segmental arch doorway, with the gable above having been rebuilt in brick during the 19th century.
