Description

Stables Cottage is an 18th century red brick stable block that has been partly converted into a dwelling at the south end. The building is two storeys tall. The south end features double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, set in flush cased frames that reflect the 18th century style. On the west side, there is a large double entrance doorway with a central loft entrance, topped with a gable. The roof is tiled and hipped at both the north and south ends.
