Description
The stables located approximately 30 metres east of Elton Hall were built around 1870 and include a south-west range of earlier stables from the early 18th century. They were constructed for the 4th Earl of Carysfort and feature rock-faced and hammer-dressed limestone with freestone dressings, topped with Welsh slated roofs. The building is one storey with attics and consists of ranges of stables, coach houses, and cottages that enclose two stable yards.
The main entrance archway is situated in the north-west range and is topped by a two-stage clock tower. The north-west elevation is symmetrical, featuring an embattled parapet on the tower and flanking walls, plain corbelled parapets on the gabled end bays, and a chamfered plinth. The entrance has two-centred inner and outer arches with a brick vault, and the arch is decorated with two chamfered and moulded orders, the arms of the fourth Earl of Carysfort, and a clock in recesses above the archway, flanked by two single-light windows with chamfered and hollow-chamfered reveals and a moulded label. The end bays have stone mullioned casement windows on both the ground and first floors.
The stable yard facades feature boarded stable doors and outer cottage doors with cast iron hinges marked 'Charles Collinge Lambeth', along with rectangular fanlights. There are also boarded loft doors with gabled parapets and coach house doors shaped to segmental arches. The stable windows are made of cast iron with large geometric patterned panes, while the cottage windows have two or three casement lights with chamfered reveals. The dormer windows on the facade have parapets similar to the loft doors and are topped with ball finials.
The interior of the stables remains largely complete, and the original plan has not been altered.
