GV II

Stables. Dated 1847, with circa late C19/early C20 addition and altered internally in C20. Rendered stone walls. Gable ended slate roof. The original building is in 3 main sections of rectangular plan: to the left were stables, to the centre was the harness room and the part to the right, now a garage, may originally have been a coach house or else further stabling. On the 1st floor was accommodation for the grooms. In late C19/early C20 further stabling was added at the front of the left-hand side. 2 storeys with attic. Regular 3 bay 2:1:2 window front with taller projecting gable at the centre. C20 casement windows. The left-hand section has double doors in the middle. The central part has a narrow doorway. To the right a wide garage door has been inserted. To the left of the projecting central part 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 an octagonal belfry above with weathervane on the top. The datestone of 1847 is at the apex of the gable. Projecting from the left-hand end is the later single storey stable extension.
