Stable Next Gate At Little Lovetts End Farm

The stable next to the gate at Little Lovetts End Farm is a structure dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with a western bay added in the 19th century. It features a timber frame resting on a lower brick sill, and is covered in dark weatherboarding with a steep old red tile roof. The western bay has slates on the western face of its hip. This single-storey building has two bays and faces south into the yard.

Architectural details include heavy timbering with swept-jowled posts, cranked and curved braces supporting cambered tie-beams and wallplates, as well as collar and queen-strut trusses with one clasped purlin on each slope. There are long curved wind-braces, diminished principals, numbered joints, and holes for wattle-and-daub infill in the stud walls. The stable has a single door located on the south side in the eastern bay, with a blocked window in the western bay. The probable third bay on the western side has been altered in the 19th century.
