Carriage House And Stables To North Of Trewardale

The carriage house and stables, located to the north of Trewardale, date from the early 19th century. They are constructed from local stone rubble with granite quoins and feature a slate roof with hipped ends and a central gable topped by a bellcote. The building has a rectangular plan, built into a bank, with a two-storey elevation facing the house to the south and a single-storey elevation at the rear.

The south elevation is symmetrical with three windows. The ground floor includes a wide central entrance that is elliptically arched and made of dressed granite with a keystone. This entrance features a pair of wide plank doors leading into the carriage house, with stable doors on either side within the arch. Above the entrance is a sundial dated 1688. Flanking the entrance are two six-pane windows with dressed granite segmental arches, located on both the ground and first floors. Above these, a central bullseye window is situated on the first floor, topped by a small gable that supports an open-sided timber bellcote with a slate pyramid roof and weathervane. There are two rows of pigeon holes at the centre below the eaves.

To the left is a single-storey range made of stone rubble with a slate roof and gable ends, featuring wide doors in altered openings. Inside, the stables on either side of the carriage house retain complete 19th-century fittings, including six stalls. The building is noted for its particularly unaltered exterior and interior, showcasing fine quality fittings.
