Description

Skeldgate and Stable End is a former farmhouse and stable, now functioning as a farmhouse and cottage, dated 1695 with 20th-century alterations. The building features slobbered rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof, designed in a longhouse plan with the rear facing the street. The garden front is two storeys high and consists of three bays.

The entrance, located to the right of the centre, is set within a circa 1970 porch that has a moulded surround and a decorated basket-arched lintel inscribed with "I D", along with a hoodmould and a circa 1970 door. The left-hand bay contains a circa 1970 three-light mullion window on each storey. There are two former four-light double chamfered mullioned windows on the right side, of which only the two right-hand windows retain their central mullion. The central bay has only the left-hand mullion remaining on the ground floor, with none on the upper floor. The upper floor features a blind oculus with a chamfered surround.

The left side of the building has a ridge and a right-hand ridge stack at the former gable. The left-hand return includes external steps leading to a former hayloft entrance, supported by a reused octagonal shaft with a moulded capital, possibly a 15th-century cross-base. The porch, added in the 1970s, has a lean-to roof. Additionally, a quoin on the left-hand side bears a carving from the 17th century, inscribed with "IC TC".
