Description
The stable and former dovecote, located 30 meters north of Kenricks, dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with the dovecote specifically dated 1680 on a stone tablet. It is constructed of knapped flint with brick dressings and features a steeply pitched old tile roof. The stable is positioned at the front, with the dovecote offset to the rear left.
The stable has moulded brick eaves and a hipped roof, with a wide board door at the center that has a gauged flat arch, stone imposts, and a keyblock. There are flanking windows, with the left window boarded and the right window blocked, both featuring stone sills and rebuilt heads with stone keyblocks. Additionally, there is a small high window on each side. The loft includes a gabled dormer with a wooden casement on the left side and a gabled door at the rear.
The dovecote has moulded and offset eaves, a hipped roof with a louvred gablet, and features an altered two-panelled door and a wooden window on the left side. The right side contains a two-light window, a small light below the eaves, and a door with a semi-circular arch, brick keyblock, and brick Tudor dripmould. The interior is chalk-lined and retains some nesting boxes, although other boxes have been blocked, and the building has been repurposed for more general use.
