Description

This is a stable block, located approximately 5 metres west of Hall House. It dates back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. The construction utilises dressed stonework with coped gable ends to a slate roof. A stone stack with offsets and a tapered cap is present at the right gable end. The building is arranged in a T-shaped plan, comprising a central gabled projection with long ranges extending to either side. A clock turret sits at the left end, featuring a modillion cornice and an octagonal cupola topped with a tent-shaped roof and a fox weathervane.

The left-hand range displays two windows, one a two-light design and the other a three-light design with four-centred arches to the lights. A 17th-century framed and ledged door is set within a pilastered archway design with a fishscale motif in the spandrels. Further along, a 17th-century timber cavetto mullion window of three lights is visible beside a 19th-century doorway with a double overlight, four panes to each light, a plank door, and a two-light window. The central projection has a window with three segmental arched lights and a hoodmould, above a relieving arch to a large cart entrance with double plank doors and an added deeply projecting slate canopy. The right-hand range has two three-light windows with four-centred arches set into 19th-century insertions into 17th-century chamfered mullion windows in the upper storey. Below are two plank doors with double overlights, flanked by two-light transomed windows, eight panes per light with four panes above, and a small window to the left of a square-headed doorway featuring a semi-circular arched design, all dating to the 19th century. A three-light chamfered timber mullion window is at the left end.

A short courtyard wall projects from the rear right gable end, connecting the stable block to a gateway leading to the rear courtyard. The gateway has a tiled canopy above a reset pointed arched timber chamfered door surround with an old ledged door of four planks. A 17th-century loft doorway is located at the rear of the stable block, alongside a large two-light mullion window with a chamfered surround near ground level. The original stable fittings largely survive. The roof structure is likely original, with pegged and halved collars to heavy trusses.
