Description

The thatched stable at Ardeley Bury, located 70 meters north of the house, is a shelter shed that dates from the 17th century or earlier. It was extended to the south and converted into a stable in the 19th century. The building features a timber frame that is weatherboarded and topped with a steep hipped thatch roof that extends over a lean-to stable at the southern end. It consists of a 3-bay shelter shed facing west, which originally had an open front but is now enclosed with vertical boarding and has two stable doors on each side. The structure includes heavy jowled posts in low sidewalls, with curved braces supporting the bowed tie-beams and the formerly open western side. The roof is constructed with queen-strut and collar, clasped-purlins. This picturesque historic thatched building is situated within the park of Ardeley Bury.
