Description
The former horse engine house and adjoining stable at Castle Hill Farm is a Grade II listed structure. It is built from rubble stone and features a stone slate roof. The horse engine house is circular in shape with a conical roof, which is supported by very large crossed beams and struts for each rafter. There is a wide opening on the west side with a window to the left, and an opening at the rear leads into a barn. The roof of the horse engine house overlaps that of the stable, and the circular wall stops at this point. The stable is a single-storey building with four bays, featuring stable doors on the south side, a small inserted ridge stack, and a bellcote at the west end, which includes a saddlestone and a cross, as well as a former clock space below. On the north side, there are three plank doors that provide access to the rear of the stalls.
