Description
The carthorse stable at Rumshed Farm, dating from around the mid-19th century, features framed construction clad with weatherboarding and a peg-tile roof. It has a simple rectangular plan oriented west to east, facing north. The west end wall has been rebuilt using concrete blocks.
This single-storey stable includes four stable doors on the front (north side) and a centrally located window. The roof is half-hipped at both ends.
Inside, the original stall partitions remain, with the names of the horses—Prince, Duke, Darling, Dolly, and others—painted on the matchboarded rear wall.
The roof structure consists of jowelled wall posts supporting a clasped purlin queen post roof with a ridgeboard. Although the roof has experienced some racking, it has been repaired.
This stable is part of a well-preserved farmstead group at Rumshed Farm, which was previously known as St Julian's Farm. The boundaries of the parish and district run through the farmhouse, with part of it located in Sevenoaks parish.
