Description

Stable Close is an early 19th-century stable block that was originally part of the rectory, located on the opposite side of the road in Georgeham. The building has been converted into dwellings. It is constructed from roughly coursed rubble stone on the left side, with stone dressings around the original openings. The slate roofs feature gable ends, with the south range having coped gables, a curved stack, and an off-centre stack at the rear. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys high.

The south range includes three bays of four-paned casements, with an additional bay at the left end in the angle of the wing. The central bay projects forward and features a coped stone gabled pediment topped with a ball finial. There is a large round-arched opening with an impost sill that continues around the side walls of the projection. This opening has been infilled with an upper arch leading to a round-arched doorway. To the right, there are large garage doors, and to the left, there are two round-arched openings; the right one has a round-arched window inserted in a blocked doorway, while the left has a round-arched doorway with a stable door.

The left range has scattered pigeon holes and two two-light casements to the left of the large round-arched opening, which has a 20th-century casement inserted above two double plank doors. The left door features a lunette window. Above the rear gable end, there is a round-arched loft opening with pigeon holes.
