Stables About 30 Metres North West Of Widdicombe House

The stables, located about 30 metres northwest of Widdicombe House, date from around 1720 to 1725 and were built at the same time as the house. They were extended in the 19th century. The building is constructed of slate rubble and features a bituminised half-hipped roof, which has been partly recapped with corrugated iron. Some original crested ridge tiles remain.

The stables have a rectangular layout with a projecting entrance porch at the center of the front and a loft above, accessible through a doorway at the left end where the ground level is higher. In the 19th century, an outshut was added in front of the right-hand end, and another outshut was built on the right side.

The exterior is one storey plus a loft, with a symmetrical front and a hipped roof porch at the center. There is a row of pigeon holes under the eaves with a continuous stone ledge below. The porch has one doorway, while there are three doorways to the left; the wall to the right of the porch is obscured by the 19th-century outshut, which has a lean-to roof. There is also another 19th-century outshut with a lean-to roof on the right-hand end, and a loft doorway on the left end.

Inside, the stables feature chamfered ceiling beams with run-out stops, later boarded stall partitions, and iron railings above. The roof structure at the left-hand end was rebuilt in the 20th century.
