Description

The stable block to the east of Ingress Abbey, dated 1833, is a two-storey structure built of ashlar with a slate roof. It features a central projecting gable adorned with three finials and a round window. The flanking wings are also two storeys high, with a hoist located on the right side. The central entrance consists of double doors that have quatrefoils in the spandrels, and there are two arched doorcases. At the time of the survey in 1979, the windows were boarded up. The building has clustered stacks and crow-stepped end gables.
