Description
The stables, courtyard walls, and gate piers immediately east of the Old Rectory date from 1846 and are constructed from local stone rubble. The building features a steeply pitched slate roof with coped gable ends and has an overall rectangular plan. It includes stabling for five horses on the right side and an integral coach house on the left, with a hay loft above the entire structure. The stables face a courtyard at the rear of the Old Rectory, which is enclosed by a wall that connects to the left-hand corner of the coach house, featuring a carriageway flanked by gate piers.
The exterior is two storeys high, with the entrance to the stables located at the centre, above which is a loft door set in the central gable. The entrance features 19th-century plank doors with a lintel that has the date inscribed. To the right of the doorway are two 2-light ovolo-moulded wooden mullion windows, while to the left is a single-light window. The coach house at the extreme left has timber framing above boarded panels, which include later pigeon holes. The original coach house doors have been replaced with 20th-century garage doors. A stone rubble wall encloses the left side of the stable yard behind the Old Rectory. The gate piers in the wall are square in plan and feature necking mould and caps. Inside the stables, there are original low stall partitions, wooden mangers, and troughs lined in lead.
