Stable Block At The Old Stables

The stable block at The Old Stables, formerly part of Woodside Place, dates from the mid to late 18th century and is now used as a workshop. It is constructed of red brick with vitrified headers and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and is designed with a three-window centre and projecting two-window end blocks, the right end of which was built higher in the 20th century. The centre section has three shallow relieving arches on the ground floor, flanked by 8/8-pane sash windows beside a central entrance. The first floor features arches with 4/4-pane sashes. The central bay slightly projects and has an open-pedimented gable that includes a clock in a moulded stone surround. There is a first-floor sill band with a stone cymatium. Inside, the stable block retains original arched partitions with moulded wooden piers, and the south side includes original feed boxes.
