TQ6391 BILLERICAY ROAD, Herongate 723-1/13/171 (North side (off)) 20/02/76 Stable range 20 metres south-west of Heron Hall (Formerly Listed as: BILLERICAY ROAD, Herongate (North side) Stables to the south-west of Heron Hall)

GV II

Stable range. Late C17, extended in C18. Red and blue brick in Flemish bond, roofed with handmade red clay tiles; C18 extension timber-framed and weatherboarded on red brick plinth in English bond, roofed with machine-made red tiles. EXTERIOR: main range of brick facing approximately E, one storey with loft; timber-framed extension to S, one storey. The main range has to the E one original 2-light casement, one C19/20 halved door in an original frame, and one C20 halved door and frame in an original aperture, all with segmental brick arches, and a hipped dormer with pigeon holes. The timber-framed extension has one C20 halved door, roof half-hipped at S end. The rear elevation of the main range has two C20 metal casements in original apertures with segmental brick arches, and a hipped dormer, blocked with wood. The rear elevation of the S extension has C20 windows and some C20 brickwork. The main range has shaped sprockets below the eaves, and parapet gables at both ends with original wrought-iron ties forming the letters J T. Blue headers and red stretchers form a regular pattern. The plinth of the timber-framed extension is of earlier bricks, probably C15 or C16, approximately 0.60m above ground at the rear, less elsewhere owing to the site gradient. INTERIOR: the roof of the main range is in 4 bays, of joggled butt-purlin construction, with rafters of horizontal section pegged at the apices, without a ridge. The timber-framed extension has primary straight wall bracing, one internal tie-beam with 2 branching spur ties at each end, and a clasped purlin roof. The brickwork, parapet gables and wrought-iron initials are similar to those of Heron Hall (qv), and its 2 granaries (qv), and can be similarly identified with John Tyrell.
