South Stables (Barn And Cart Shed)

The South Stables, which likely functioned as a barn and cart shed, is dated 1670, as indicated by the keystone on the south elevation. The building features dressed stone walls and a stone slab roof with stone gable copings. It is a single storey structure with attics.

On the north elevation, from west to east, there is a gabled barn porch with a large round-headed entrance that has a moulded architrave, a massive dropped key-block, and substantial moulded imposts. Under the eaves, there are three pigeon-holes. The façade includes four sham windows designed with a 2-light mullion-and-transom style, which match the friezes and pediments of the north stable. There are also blind window-spaces filled with black material and a doorway that shares the same architectural details, which is also a sham. Additionally, there is a large elliptical-headed doorway fitted with panelled doors.

The south wall features two wide archways. The roof construction consists of principals that extend into the wall, resting on individual blocks set below the eaves. These blocks are crudely jointed into the side of a wall-post, which is supported by a stone corbel. The collars are jointed into the sides of the principals.
