Farm Building Immediately to South of Lower Sutton Farmhouse

This farm building, located immediately to the south of Lower Sutton Farmhouse, dates from the early 19th century and was originally used as a stable and shippon. It features finely jointed coursed slatestone walls and a slate roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled on the right. The building has two distinct ranges: the left side is a stable with a central entrance and a loft above, which is accessed by internal steps and has independent access at the right-hand end. The right side contains a shippon below and a loft above.

The exterior is two storeys high, with the lower left-hand range displaying a symmetrical three-window front and a central doorway. All openings are topped with dressed flat stone arches. At the right-hand end, there is a full-height round arched doorway with a straight flight of stone steps behind it. The taller shippon on the right has three doorways on the ground floor, with two small windows in between and a loading doorway on the first floor to the left, all featuring flat stone arches above. This building is a particularly good quality example of its type.
