Stable To The Old Vicarage And Attached Wall And Outbuilding

This is an early 19th-century stable block constructed from limestone ashlar with a stone slate roof. It is arranged in a T-shape. The exterior is single-storey with an attic. The building has three bays, each featuring a full-height, semi-elliptical recessed arch. The central bay is stepped forward slightly and topped with an open pediment, flanked by a moulded cornice and blocking course. A semicircular recess in the pediment includes two plain mullions, recessed panels, and a central planked door to a loading bay. Central 20th-century double garage doors have corrugated-iron infill within the arch. The arch to the left has the appearance of a tripartite window, with nine panes in the centre and blind windows on either side. The arch to the right has a three-light window over a 20th-century door. The interior remains uninspected. To the left (north) of the stable is a limestone rubble wall approximately 4 meters high, extending for roughly 13 meters. This wall includes a semi-elliptical arch leading to a carriage entrance. Adjacent to this is the gable end of a carriage house with a pantile roof and a segmental-arched entry to its return, followed by approximately 8 meters of wall that has been reduced in height at the north end. The stable block holds group value due to its architectural and historical significance.
