Description
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.
