Description

The stables, located approximately 30 metres south west of Chyverton House, date from the late 18th century. They are constructed of roughly-coursed killas with granite and brick dressings, topped with dry Delabole slate roofs featuring pedimented gables at the front. A brick chimney is situated over the gable end towards the left of the rear range, and part of the right-hand roof is glazed.

The overall plan is shaped like an "I", consisting of two parallel 18th-century blocks connected by a likely later single-storey building at the rear, along with high yard walls that feature a central gateway between the front ends. The exterior is two storeys high with a single-storey section. The symmetrical east front has two pedimented gable ends flanking high walls and a central gateway. Each front end includes a tall central round-arched niche, with the arch springing from a string course. The square gate-piers are on plan with moulded caps. The elevations facing into the courtyard remain unaltered, while the right-hand wall of the left-hand building features a three-window front with a central doorway, complete with old doors and windows. The interior has not been inspected.
