Description

The stables and attached farm building, located approximately 25 metres west of the Manor House, date from around 1700 and the mid-18th century. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and feature an old plain-tile roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan and consists of one storey and a loft.

The main range, built in the mid-18th century, is distinguished by its banded ashlar and has a central doorway with a three-centre arched head, moulded architrave, keyblock, and imposts. This doorway is flanked by cross-windows that also have keyblocks, and above it is an oeil-de-boeuf window with hay-loft openings beneath a moulded stone eaves-cove. To the left, slightly projecting, is the end of an earlier range that extends to the rear. This section features two semi-circular arches with keyblocks and linked imposts, and an oeil-de-boeuf window with four keyblocks in the spandrel. The arches are now blocked and contain doorways similar to the one in the main range. A plain stone eaves-cove continues around the rest of the building, while the bay to the left is partly obscured by a timber structure.

Inside, the main range has a three-bay roof supported by two truncated upper crucks with spurs and two rows of clasped purlins. The rear wing also features two upper crucks and an additional truss at the junction with a massive cambered tie-beam, which rests on a two-storey jowled post.
