Lambfold And Stable Conversion

This is a mid-17th century house with an early 19th-century extension and 20th-century alterations, originally comprising a house and stables, now converted into a flat. The house is constructed of incised stucco over slate rubble, with the oldest part displaying this finish. It has a graduated greenslate roof and painted stucco chimney stacks. The building is low, with two storeys and three bays, alongside a taller, two-storey, two-bay extension to the left, and a lower three-bay stable block. The original house has a large pent roof porch with a plank door on the side. It features sash windows, some with glazing bars, set within 19th-century painted stone surrounds. The extension has a top-glazed panelled door and sash windows with glazing bars, also in painted stone surrounds. The former stables are characterised by plank doors at three different levels, accessed by external cement steps, and feature casement windows; one is a dormer and another is beneath a 19th-century hoodmould. A 20th-century garage door and a Venetian window are visible on the left return wall. At the rear of the original house, casement windows are found in original plain reveals. The interior retains a complete 17th-century semi-circular stone staircase and beamed ceilings on the upper floor.
