Description

The stables, located approximately 20 meters east of Cox's Hall in Stanford-in-the-Vale, date from the mid-18th century with some alterations made around 1860. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble and feature a stone slate roof. The building has a two-unit plan, is one storey high with an attic, and has a two-window range. There are brick jambs and segmental arches above two 20th-century plank doors, along with a hit-and-miss ventilator to the left and a three-light barred window with a mid-19th-century engineering brick sill. The roof is hipped, and there is a plank loft door in the right gable wall, also with an engineering brick sill. To the right, there is a similar three-light barred casement and mid-19th-century stonework that blocks the original mid-18th-century double opening.

Inside, the stables have a cobbled floor. The room on the left features stop-chamfered beams and is divided into a tack room and a hackney stable by a timber-framed partition. The room on the right contains a mid-19th-century stall, manger racks that are open to the loft, and a quarter turn staircase. The roof has a four-bay collar-truss design with butt purlins. Attached to the front left wall is a four-bay cartshed built with similar materials, which also has a collar truss roof with butt purlins. The stables are included for group value as part of a collection that includes a barn and another stable at Cox's Hall.
