Stables 50 Metres South West Of Athelhampton Hall

The building is a former stable block, now converted into a tea room, located 50 metres south west of Athelhampton Hall. It dates from the early 17th century and has been altered in the 20th century. The structure features ashlar stone walls with brickwork above and a thatched roof that is hipped at both ends. It is 1½ storeys tall with irregular fenestration. There is a window with a depressed arch set within a square head. To the immediate right of this window, there is a doorway with straight-chamfered jambs that continues into the depressed arch head, leading to a plank and muntin door. Further right is another window with a depressed arch in a square head. Above this window, there are two 3-light casements that have ovolo-mould wood mullions and lead lights. Inside, the floors are made of stone flagging and brick. The coach house at the rear, which is at right angles to the main building, is not considered to be of special interest.
