Description

The stable block, now used as a garage, is located approximately 2 metres west of Lower House and dates from the early to mid-17th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble, although part of the rear wall has been rebuilt using 20th-century concrete blocks. The roof, which was originally thatched, is now covered with corrugated iron. The stable block faces north-west and is positioned in front of Lower House alongside the road.

The front features a wide doorway to the left of centre, which is fitted with 20th-century plank double doors. The roof has a half-hipped design on the right side and is gable-ended on the left. The left end includes a wide doorway that has been fitted with 20th-century garage doors.

Inside, the stable block retains much of its 17th-century carpentry detail and is part-floored. The crossbeams are roughly finished and extend through the side walls, secured by large pegs in a tusk tenon fashion. The roof is supported by three trusses, two of which are original A-frame trusses featuring pegged dovetail-shaped lap-jointed collars.
