Description

The Stables at Bill Hill consist of two blocks and date from the 18th century, with some alterations. The south block features a brick first floor string and a slate roof, standing two storeys tall. The north front, which was originally eight bays but is now six, has four-light 20th-century wooden upper casements and four-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor. There are six-panelled doors in the outer bays, each with rectangular pane fanlights.

The north block, also from the 18th century, has a first floor string, boxed eaves, and a slate roof, and is similarly two storeys high. The south front has seven bays, with a tall archway in the centre bay that includes a 20th-century stable door. Above this is a first floor string and a pediment featuring a clock in the tympanum. An octagonal wooden cupola with a lead dome and weather-vane sits above. The centre bay is flanked by three bays on either side, each with a door in the centre bay, four-light upper casement windows, and four-light windows on the ground floor.
