Description
The stables immediately east of Lower Washbourne Barton are a stable range and coachhouse with a loft above, built around 1830-1840. The structure is made of plastered stone rubble and features a hipped roof covered with corrugated iron, which has deep eaves supported by shaped soffit brackets, although the left hipped end retains slate roofing. The building has a rectangular plan, with stables on the left and an integral coach-house on the right, each with a front entrance.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front. It includes three tall windows with segmented heads and 20th-century cross mullion-transom window frames. To the right, there is a large coach-house doorway with a segmented head, though the door is missing. To the left of centre, there is a stable doorway topped by a pair of engraved round arches, and all openings feature plaster keystones. A very small loft window is located under the eaves to the left of centre.
Inside, the stalls have been removed, and the roof is supported by elm roof trusses. Notably, there is a bell dated 1602 lying inside the stables, which bears the name Henry (possibly Somster).
