Stable Range Adjoining North East Of Higher Allerton

The stable range adjoining the northeast of Higher Allerton is a building from the late 18th century or early 19th century, constructed from local limestone rubble. It features a corrugated asbestos sheet roof, with Welsh slates only at the left end over the groom's accommodation, which has deep eaves over a front wall that is recessed at an angle. The building has a rectangular plan, with stables and a hay loft above that includes a doorway at the rear where the ground is higher. At the front, there is a later lean-to canopy with harness rooms at either end. The groom's accommodation is set back to the left and is possibly over a store; it has an external stair on the left side, while another farm building to the right has been incorporated into the house across a small yard in front.

The exterior is two storeys high, featuring two very small hay loft windows on the left and right. There is a hipped slate lean-to roof over the harness rooms, with an open-fronted shelter between them. Set back to the left are two ground floor doorways with keeping place recesses in the jambs, and 19th and 20th century casements above with glazing bars. External stone steps lead up to the first floor plank door at the left gable end, with a dog-kennel situated beneath the stairs. At the back of the stables, there is a loft loading door and a small early 19th century casement window at the back of the groom's accommodation.

Inside, the stables remain intact, including the stalls with iron bars above, although the groom's accommodation has been converted into a workshop. The roof structure of the hay loft was not inspected.
