Stable Block At Hill House And The Cottage

The stable block at Hill House and The Cottage dates from around 1800 and is constructed of yellow brick with a slate roof. This one and a half storey rectangular building faces south, while the west and east ends feature decorative bargeboards on two extended purlins. Below each purlin are circular fan-glazed windows. The eastern end has a central upper door with a segmental arch, flanked by two wide arched openings on the ground floor. On the left side, there is a wide doorway with a three-centred chamfered head, and a round arched window with a curvilinear early 19th-century fanlight above it. The west end, which is associated with The Cottage, has two recessed sash windows beneath the two circular windows. The south return features a similar window and a four-panelled door. The north side has two circular windows flanking a half-glazed door with margin lights. This building was formerly listed with Hill House and is included for its group value.
