Stables To North West Of St Minver Vicarage

The stables located to the northwest of St. Minver Vicarage date from the early 19th century and are now used as a store and garage. They are constructed of stone rubble with brick dressings and feature a rag slate roof with alternating raised clay ridge tiles that serve as ventilators. The building has a half-hipped end on the right and a gable end on the left, with a brick stack on the left gable end.

The stables have a rectangular plan that includes a small privy on the left, a carriage house, a small heated room, stables with three stalls, and a tack room on the right. The structure is one storey with a loft. Openings are adorned with brick segmental arches, and there is a six-pane window to the left, garage doors in the original carriage house opening, and a 12-pane window in a blocked entrance near the center. To the right, a cobbled slope leads up to the plank doors of the stable, and a 12-pane window lights the tack room on the far right. A small drain outlet is located to the right of the stable door. Above the left-hand window and the carriage entrance are two hornless 12-pane sashes that light the loft, with stone rubble steps at the rear providing access.

Inside, the stables retain their lath and plaster and timber-framed partitions. The stables have their original ramped stall partitions and mangers. The central small room was originally heated by a rear lateral stack, featuring a charming early 19th-century slate chimney piece. The stables remain largely unaltered, preserving almost the complete interior.
