Stables (Building 5) at Newlands Farm

The stables at Newlands Farm were built in the early to mid-19th century and have undergone some modifications since their construction.

The building has brick walls and a slate roof, which is likely a later addition. It has a rectangular shape aligned on a north-south axis and is situated at the north-west corner of the farmyard.

The exterior features a two-storey structure topped by a half-hipped slate roof. Most of the stable windows and hatches are adorned with external header-course brickwork. Some openings appear to have been altered or added later. The east elevation has a central doorway with a timber stable door, surrounded by modified brickwork. This door is flanked by two windows, and above it is a hay loft hatch. The north elevation also has a pair of hay-loft hatches, with the brickwork around the lower hatch indicating it is a later insertion. Additionally, there is a large hole in the south-east corner that has been filled with concrete block, and a later ground-floor door has been added to the south end.

Inside, the ground floor contains three timber half-height stall partitions made with simple round posts and timber troughs in between. The floor is covered in concrete with a drainage channel. A hay shoot runs along the west side of the building, and the east doorway is flanked by two narrow niches. A ladder provides access to the hay loft. The roof features trusses with queen struts and small king posts at the apex, along with a pair of purlins. Some roof timbers, including several rafters and battens, have been replaced later.
