Description

The building is a stable located approximately 15 metres north of Pound House, dated 1847, with a late 19th century to early 20th century addition and internal alterations made in the 20th century. It features rendered stone walls and a gable-ended slate roof. The original structure consists of three main sections arranged in a rectangular plan: the left section contains stables, the central section serves as the harness room, and the right section, now a garage, may have originally been a coach house or additional stabling. There was accommodation for grooms on the first floor. A further stable was added to the front of the left section in the late 19th or early 20th century. The building is two storeys tall with an attic and has a regular three-bay window front arranged in a 2:1:2 pattern, featuring a taller projecting gable at the centre. The windows are 20th century casements. The left section has double doors in the middle, the central part has a narrow doorway, and a wide garage door has been inserted on the right. To the left of the central projection is a stone mounting block. At the top of the gable is a large clock, reputed to have come from Plymouth Dockyard, with a face on each side and an octagonal belfry above topped with a weathervane. The datestone of 1847 is located at the apex of the gable, and a later single-storey stable extension projects from the left-hand end.
