Description
The former stable at the southeast corner of the former farmyard at Woolley House is a late 18th-century building that has been altered. It is constructed of red brick in irregular bond and features a plain tile roof. The structure is one storey high with a loft and consists of five bays. The central doorway has been bricked up, and to its right is a cross-boarded door with a segmental brick arch. There is also a 19th-century small-pane two-light window in what was once a larger opening. The ends of the tie rods are visible, and the eaves are stepped and dentilled. The roof is hipped.
On the rear, there is a blocked central window and smaller windows to the right. The left side is primarily made of header-bond brickwork and has a blocked oculus in the gable. The right side has been rebuilt in Flemish-bond brickwork with glazed headers. Inside, the right bays feature a cobbled floor and stalls with a manger that includes five tethering rings. Large tie-beams support curved, cruck-like braces that extend to the collar and principal rafters, with base ties connecting to the wall plate. There are two tiers of enched purlins, along with replacement rafters and a plank ridge-piece. This building is included for its group value.
