Description

North and South Stable Cottages and Stable, located 400 metres northeast of Dewlish House, is a former stable block built in the early 18th century. The structure is arranged in a U shape, with the north and south ranges converted into cottages. It features brick walls with stone dressings and a hipped clay tile roof with stone slate eaves, along with 20th-century stacks. The building is one storey high with lofts.

The central stable, which is still in use, has a round-headed entrance adorned with gauged brick arches, stone imposts, and keys. There are two round-headed windows on each side of the entrance, also featuring gauged brick arches, stone imposts, and keys, along with two gabled dormers above. The courtyard side has blind arches with plank doors. The cottages incorporate reused 17th-century materials, including 2-light mullions with 20th-century metal casements and lead lights. The north and south elevations also display reused 17th-century mullions arranged in a pattern of three, two, and three lights, with central doorways.

Inside the stable, there is a central tack room and stable fittings on either side. A linking brick wall runs across the front of the courtyard.
