Description

The Stable and Grooms House in Messing-cum-Inworth dates from the early 18th century and has been altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a red plain tile roof. The building stands two storeys high and has an arcade of four blind semi-circular arches, along with a central arched entrance that leads to the former stable yard, which is now partially blocked. Throughout the building, there are double hung vertical sliding sashes, and a 'Venetian' window can be found at the rear.
