Description
The stables and adjoining linhay, located approximately 15 meters northeast of Lower Westwood Farmhouse, date from the 17th century for the stables and the 19th century for the linhay. The structure is built from plastered cob on rubble footings, with a timber frame and a corrugated iron roof, which was originally thatch.
The stables feature three stable doors, all of which are two-leaf stable doors, and a single loading bay for the hayloft located above the center stable. The linhay, which is open-fronted and has four bays, is attached to the southeast side of the stables. Inside, the stables have stop-chamfered cross beams with scroll stops and a four-bay A-frame roof with pegged, lap-jointed collars. A late 19th to early 20th-century truss at the right end indicates that this end may have once been hipped. The linhay is supported by square-section timber posts set on stone pads, which rise to carry tallet crossbeams and interrupted tie-beam trusses above. This building is included for its group value.
