GV II

House and stable block. Circa late C18/early C19 stable block part of which has been incorporated into a circa 1840s house. Stone rubble house with slate roofs, hipped at north end, gabled at east end. 1 large projecting lateral stack, 1 pair of rendered, diagonally set chimney shafts. In the early C19 the north end of the stable block appears to have been converted to house accommodation and a wing was added to the west forming an L-plan. The converted stables and the new wing were fenestrated in a Tudor style. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4-window front, slightly advanced at the right-hand which has a roof hipped to the front and which is the end of the former stable block. The wing has a stepped gable at the left end. Arched front door under a sloping slate canopy carried on brackets to the right-hand of the wing. All the windows are timber casements with high transoms and Tudor arched lights above the transoms, all with diagonal leaded panes. To the left of the front door 1 ground floor and 1 first floor 2-light casement. To the right of the front door is one 2-light casement with a timber lintel and 1 canted bay window with 2 lights to the front and 1 to each return. First floor window right is a 3-light casement under a timber lintel. The left return of the wing has one 2-light casement below an arched timber Gothic 2-light window, also with diagonal leaded panes. Interior The cross beams and joists of ground floor room right correspond to those extant in the adjoining stable. The large fireplace to the lateral stack may be earlier than the mid C19 suggesting that there may have been an earlier phase to the conversion of the north end of the stable block. The stable block has a slate roof hipped at the south end and 4 stable entrances under segmental brick arches with keystones. 2 large under segmental brick arches with keystones have double doors. 2 round ventilation holes to the loft with brick arches, pigeon holes under eaves. A later stone stair leads up to one of the loft entrances. Massive cross beams to the stables, C19 king post and strut roof to the loft is probably a replacement.
