Description
The stable, located approximately 20 metres to the north-east of the granary at Hookend Farm, dates from the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a corrugated asbestos roof. The building is a single storey with six bays. It has doorways and windows, with the doorways fitted with stable doors, small-pane overlights, and chamfered surrounds with segmental heads. The windows are designed with vertical glazing bars and chamfered surrounds. The eaves are stepped and dentilled.
To the right, there is a later shelter shed that is not of special interest. In front of the stable, there is a brick wall that forms a shallow yard, with a gateway on each side; the replacement gates are not of special interest. Attached to the front of this wall are two brick troughs, and a wall extends eastward towards the pigsty range. The yard walls feature chamfered plinths, rounded brick coping, and ramped sections. The stable and its attached yard walls are significant as they contribute to the overall character of the contemporary farmyard and are included for their group value.
