Description

The former stables, located about 20 meters northwest of Moreton and now part of Grenville College, date from the early 19th century or possibly earlier, with a late 20th-century addition. The building features solid rendered walls and half-hipped slate roofs, along with red and cream-brick chimneys. It has a U-shaped plan, with a late 20th-century addition on the right side of the left wing. The main range is two stories high, with single-storey wings projecting from each end of the front.

The main range includes a two-window gabled center projection, flanked by two-window sections on either side. Most of the windows are small-paned sash windows set in recessed box frames, except for the right-hand second-storey window, which has a two-light wood casement. The center projection features a clock in a round moulded frame, topped by a wooden bell-turret (which does not contain a bell) with a patterned slated roof and an ornate weathervane. The right wing has windows similar to those in the main range. In front of the building, there is a low stone-rubble wall across the right side of the forecourt. The interior was only inspected on the ground floor, which has been completely altered.
