Description

The stables and attached barn located to the southwest of Sizergh Castle are Grade II* listed buildings, likely dating from the mid-19th century. They feature limestone rubble walls and a graduated greenslate roof, with stone chimney stacks on the stables.

The stables, which have been converted into two houses, are two storeys tall and symmetrical around a square central block. This block has a recessed arch topped by a leaded cupola and weathervane. On either side of the central arched window, there are two openings with flattened arched heads, flanked by two smaller casements. Above, there are six casements, all of which are 20th-century replacements.

The barn originally had two cart entrances on each side, which had ramped approaches from the courtyard but are now blocked, with a small door inserted in their place.

This listing is included partly for its group value with Sizergh Castle.
