Stables Approximately 5 Metres North Of Bush House

The stables, formerly a linhay, are located approximately 5 metres north of Bush House and date from the late 17th century or 18th century. They are constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with a weather-boarded front and a thatched roof.

The stable block faces southeast into the courtyard behind Bush House. Originally, it was an open-fronted linhay, except for the right end where the cob wall extends half a bay across the front. In the 20th century, the front was weather-boarded, and there are stable doors at each end with 20th-century windows above. The central portion has been altered to create a car port. The roof is half-hipped on the right side and gable-ended on the left, where it connects to a later stable block.

Behind this, the original five-bay front features large, roughly-finished crossbeams that rest on monolithic granite posts. Timber posts rise through the hayloft and curve inwards to clasp the outer principals of A-frame trusses, which have pegged lap-jointed collars. This stable, along with the outer thatched farm buildings associated with Bush House, creates an attractive group in the village.
