Description

The stables, located approximately 15 meters south-southeast of The Dower House, date from the early 19th century, around 1820. They are constructed from squared and coursed limestone and feature a hipped Welsh slate roof. The building is two stories high and has a two-window range. It includes double-leaf loft doors situated above a panelled stable door that has fielded lozenge-shaped panels. There are keyed stone lintels over 19th-century centre-hung lights. At the rear, there is an outshut, and to the right, there is a one-storey traphouse. This structure is included for its group value with The Dower House.
