Description

The former stables, located immediately southeast of Crabadon Court, date back to the 17th century and have been repurposed as a cow house and now a barn. The building is constructed of slate rubble with a dressed slate chamfered plinth and hoodmoulds. The original roof has been replaced with a monopitch corrugated iron roof. The structure is rectangular in shape, featuring a central main entrance at the front and a small single cell plan at the left end. It is built into the bank at the back and was likely originally two storeys with a loft above, but has been reduced to one storey.

The central doorway is a semi-circular arch, adorned with finely dressed chamfered slate voussoirs and a slate hoodmould above. There is one window on either side of the doorway, each with a chamfered wooden lintel and straps, as well as a slate hoodmould. To the left of the main entrance, there is a doorway with a timber lintel, and adjacent to it is a small window with a timber lintel and slate dripstone. Below the eaves, there is a row of pigeon holes. The right corner of the building is rounded at the base, with a plinth that continues around the right end. Above this rounded corner, a corbel supports the square corner above. The right end features a ventilation slit on the ground floor and a square opening above, with two rows of pigeon holes to the left. The roof structure is from the 20th century.
