Description
These late 18th-century stable buildings, along with attached gate piers and kitchen garden walls, stand approximately 10 metres south of Sandhill House. The buildings are constructed of slatestone rubble with granite and brick dressings, and have asbestos slate roofs, hipped over the stable.
The structures form the east and west sides of a stable yard, enclosed by a wall with gate piers to the south. The west building is a cart shed with a loft above, and a folly tower attached to the front right. The east building is a stable/coach house with an open-fronted cart shed attached to the right. A roughly rectangular kitchen garden is enclosed by a wall attached to the west of the stable yard.
The two-storey west building has two double doorways at ground floor and a 18th-century 12-pane sash window at first floor. A row of square brick pigeon holes with slate perches and a re-sited granite datestone of 1637 are also present. A door and single light are to the right, both with segmental brick arches. The tower to the right has an external stone stair to the front door, a blocked upper window, and a window with a triangular arch to the left. It features an embattled parapet with granite pinnacles. A 3-light wooden window in a Perpendicular style, with a 4-centred arch and hood mould, is at the right-hand end. The gable end has a blocked door, two upper window openings, and rows of brick pigeon holes with slate perches. The rear wall has been rebuilt in sections, possibly incorporating an earlier stable building, and includes a loading door at upper level.
The eastern stable/coach house has two open bays at the right end, with round brick piers and convex granite caps. To the left are a double door, two single doors, and a 4-pane sash window, all with granite lintels and keystones.
The stable yard walls are in rubble, featuring a pair of square piers with stone pyramidal caps, roughly 4 metres high, at the south end. The kitchen garden walls are also in rubble with rubble coping, approximately 4 metres high, and have plain pilasters at intervals. The kitchen garden is roughly 30 metres by 40 metres, and is partially demolished at the southern side.
