Description
This is a stable range, dating to the late 17th century, with extensions from the 18th century. It is located 20 metres south-west of Heron Hall. The main range is constructed of red and blue brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. An 18th-century extension is timber-framed and weatherboarded, resting on a red brick plinth in English bond, and has a roof of machine-made red tiles.
The east-facing elevation of the main range features one original 2-light casement window, a 19th or 20th-century halved door within the original door frame, and a 20th-century halved door in an original aperture, all with segmental brick arches. A hipped dormer is also present. The timber-framed extension to the south has one 20th-century halved door, and a half-hipped roof at its south end. The rear elevation of the main range has two 20th-century metal casements in original openings with segmental brick arches, and a blocked hipped dormer. The rear elevation of the south extension is largely modern, with 20th-century windows and brickwork. The main range has shaped sprockets below the eaves and parapet gables at both ends, featuring original wrought-iron ties forming the initials "J T." The blue headers and red stretchers create a distinctive pattern. The timber-framed extension’s plinth is made from earlier bricks, likely dating to the 15th or 16th century, and stands approximately 0.60 metres above ground level at the rear, varying due to the site's slope.
The interior of the main range’s roof is constructed in four bays, with a joggled butt-purlin arrangement, rafters of a horizontal section pegged at the apexes, and no ridge. The timber-framed extension has straight wall bracing, one internal tie-beam with two branching spur ties at each end, and a clasped purlin roof. The brickwork, parapet gables and wrought-iron initials are consistent with those of Heron Hall and its associated granaries, and are linked to John Tyrell.
