Description

The stable and coach house range, located immediately west of Sharpham, dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from local slate rubble and features slate and scantle slate roofs, some of which have been replaced with asbestos tiles.

The building is roughly square in plan, arranged around a courtyard, with stables on three sides and coach houses on the fourth north side, which flanks a central carriageway. There are small tack rooms on either side of the carriageway. The structure likely evolved in phases starting around 1770, coinciding with the construction of Sharpham House. The east range has been converted into a dwelling in the 20th century, while the south range is now used as dairies.

The exterior is one storey with lofts. The north elevation features a central carriageway with a limestone ashlar elliptical arch, which includes alternating large and small voussoirs, tooled pilasters with fluted capitals, small roundels, and plank double doors. Inside the carriageway, there are partition side walls with brick nogging and flush-panel doors leading to the tack rooms.

Within the courtyard, the elevations display central elliptical arches for the stables and 16-panel sash windows, most of which are original. Flanking the carriageway are two pairs of plank double doors leading to the coach houses, with the left-hand door replaced by corrugated asbestos sheets.

Inside, the building features a late 19th century soft-wood king-post roof structure, but none of the stable stalls remain. It is uncertain whether Sir Robert Taylor, the architect of Sharpham House, was directly involved in the design of the stables.
