Description
The stable block, located approximately 10 metres east of Farthing Park Farmhouse, dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with some 20th-century brick patching at the rear, and features a thatched roof. The building comprises stables and a harness room, with haylofts above, facing the farmyard to the south-west. The front of the stable block has doors at each end; the left (north-west) door includes a glazed overlight and leads into the stable, which is illuminated by a window situated between the doors. The right (south-east) door accesses the harness room and has a loading hatch above it. There is a first-floor glazed window located to the left of centre. The roof is hipped at both ends, and the stable is separated from the harness room by a cob crosswall. The structure features a five-bay roof supported by A-frame trusses made from halved tree trunks with pegged lap-jointed collars.
