Hayne Farm And Stables Adjoining At The South

Hayne Farm and adjoining stables are a house and stable block dating to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with alterations made in the 1840s. The house is constructed of stone rubble with slate roofs, with a hipped roof at the north end and a gabled roof at the east end. A single large projecting lateral stack and two rendered chimney shafts, diagonally set, are prominent features.

In the early 19th century, the north end of the stable block was converted into living accommodation, and a wing was added to the west, creating an L-shaped plan. This new wing was designed in a Tudor style, and it, along with the converted stables, was fenestrated to match. The house is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical four-window front. A slightly projecting section at the right-hand side marks the former stable block, with a hipped roof fronting the house. A stepped gable is present at the left end of the wing. An arched front door is sheltered by a sloping slate canopy supported by brackets, located to the right of the wing. All windows are timber casements with high transoms and Tudor arched lights above, featuring diagonal leaded panes. To the right of the front door is a two-light casement with a timber lintel, alongside a canted bay window with two lights to the front and one each to the returns. A first-floor window to the right is a three-light casement under a timber lintel. A two-light casement is located on the left return of the wing, below an arched timber Gothic two-light window, also with diagonal leaded panes.

Inside, the cross beams and joists in a ground-floor room on the right correspond with those found in the adjoining stable block. The fireplace associated with the lateral stack may be older than the mid-19th century, suggesting a possible earlier phase to the conversion of the stable block.

The stable block has a slate roof, hipped at the south end. It features four stable entrances under segmental brick arches with keystones, two of which incorporate double doors. Two round ventilation holes with brick arches are present in the loft, along with pigeon holes under the eaves. A later stone stair leads up to one of the loft entrances. The stables contain massive cross beams, while the loft has a 19th-century king post and strut roof, which is believed to be a replacement.
