Stable at High Trees Farm

The stable at High Trees Farm was built in the mid-19th century. It is located at the north-west side of the farmstead and is attached to the separately listed threshing barn.

The stable itself is a timber-framed building clad in weatherboarding on a brick plinth, with a corrugated-iron roof. An adjoining tack room is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond, and a chaff house is built of flint rubble and red brick in a stretcher bond with weatherboarding along the top, both also with corrugated iron roofs.

The stable has a rectangular plan with an alignment running north-east to south-west. It is a single-storey, two-bay structure with a steeply-pitched roof. A door opening is centrally located on the main south-east elevation and another is on the south-west gable end. Above the south-west gable door is a loft hatch with a plank and batten door fitted with strap hinges. A weather vane sits at the south-western end of the roof. The tack room projects slightly on the right side of the main door, just under the eaves, and has a shallow lean-to roof and a small window in a wooden frame. The chaff house, adjacent to the tack room on the north-east gable end, is a three-bay, single-storey structure with a lean-to roof angled differently to the tack room. It features a square, louvred opening in the first bay, with brickwork showing signs of repair. The second and third bays are open-sided, supported by two timber posts.

Inside the stable, the floor is paved with yellow brick. Original wooden hayracks and mangers are present along the north-west wall, along with a wooden stall division at the north-east end. The roof features collar trusses with clasped purlins and tie beams strengthened by strap hinges. The gable ends have closely spaced studs with primary down bracing. The tack room retains a plank and batten door with strap hinges and a latch, and features two long wooden pegs fixed to a batten on the wall. A small, square room with a sunken floor, possibly a storage area, is located next to the tack room.

An internal plank and batten door in the north-east gable end leads into the chaff house. This has a partition of timber studs and weatherboarding separating it from the open-sided bays. The open-sided bays have a high brick plinth with timber studs above, clad in weatherboarding.
