Stable With Attached Privy To West Of Hewthwaite Farmhouse

This building is a stable with an attached privy located to the west of Hewthwaite Farmhouse, likely built in the 19th century. It is constructed from slobbered rubble with quoins, while the manure house and privy are made of roughly coursed rubble, with the privy being white-washed. The stable features a graduated slate roof, while the manure house has a stone slate roof.

The stable has a three-unit rectangular plan oriented east-west and faces north. The manure house and privy are attached and set back at the eastern end. The stable is two stories tall and symmetrical, with a wide stable doorway at each end and a slightly narrower one in the center, all featuring stable doors with white-washed surrounds. Above the central doorway, there is a loading doorway with a board door.

The manure house and privy on the left form a small rectangular range that is one story high, separated by a projected rubble wall. Each section has a full-height doorway. This stable is part of a significant farmstead group that includes Hewthwaite Farmhouse, a barn to the north, and a barn to the south, which adds to its group value.
