Description

The stable block located approximately 40 meters south of Manor Farmhouse is a late 17th-century structure, likely built around the same time as the farmhouse. It is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring large quoins and a stone slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan with a small single-storey extension at the rear and stands two storeys tall. It has a flat chamfered plinth and two segmental-headed entrances with raised surrounds and tall keystones. There are three double-chamfered 2-light stone-mullioned casements, one of which is located at first floor level. An off-centre right pitching window may have originally been a doorway. Below the eaves, there are two courses of pigeon holes, and a large circular ventilation hole is present in the south gable end, surrounded by square dressed stone, with a single ventilation slit above it.

Inside, the stable block likely consists of four bays, divided into a hay store and stable, with a hay loft above. There is a slot in the floor of the hay loft for pitching hay down to the stabling below, and the original collar and tie beam roof trusses are still intact. The building, along with the barn opposite, is positioned to frame the facade of Manor Farmhouse when viewed from the south. As of the last survey in June 1986, the roof was noted to be in a state of disrepair.
