Stable With Attached Screen Wall About 10 Metres North East Of Tregeare House

The stable block with an attached screen wall, dating to the early 19th century, stands approximately 10 metres north east of Tregeare House. The screen wall incorporates materials from the 17th century. The building is constructed of rendered stone rubble, with a slate roof featuring ridge tiles and gable ends. The screen wall itself is built of slatestone rubble with granite dressings.

The stable block follows a U-shaped plan, consisting of a central range of stables, with shorter projecting wings to the right and left, containing coach houses. There were formerly additional stables to the rear left side, now converted into workshops. Attached to the rear is a lean-to dog kennel, featuring an enclosed run and a gabled ventilator. A screen wall is attached to the rear right, incorporating a central gateway and 17th-century materials.

The stable block’s front elevation is single-storey with a plinth and a symmetrical three-bay central section, flanked by short projecting wings. A central doorway, with a segmental arch and granite jambs, leads to a plank door. A small clock is positioned above the doorway. To the right and left of the central door are three-light casements with pivoted toplights. Each of the projecting wings has a gabled front with scalloped bargeboards, and features a double doorway with an elliptical arch and plank double doors with raised fillets. A six-pane sash with a segmental arch is located on the left side, alongside two two-light casements and a plank door, all with segmental arches. The right side of the stable block is blank.

The screen wall is constructed of slatestone rubble with a rubble coping. It features central stone rubble piers topped with pyramidal granite caps, which ramp down to each side. A three-light chamfered granite window with a hood mould, but lacking glass, is set within the wall. Terminal piers also have pyramidal caps.

At the rear, the coach house on the right forms a projecting wing with large double doors, plus a loading door giving access to the loft above. The central range has a small gablet. A lean-to dog kennel is attached to the central range, with the enclosed hound yard and gabled ventilator above. A window opening at loft level is visible in the gable end of the coach house to the left.

The interior includes a central tack room, with a slate floor, saddle racks, and pine-panelled walls. The stables to either side have wooden partitions, with ball finials and rails. Cast iron mangers are present. The stables on the right side are constructed of oak, while those on the left are built in pine.
