Description
King John House is a former stable block that has been converted into a house. It likely dates from the 18th century and was altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a slate roof. It was originally a rectangular range of stables, consisting of a single storey with an attic. The main front has a seven-window range of 20th-century casement windows set in their original openings, all under simple gauged stone heads. The roof is gabled behind a parapet, with gable parapets that have ashlar copings. There is a 20th-century entrance in the right gable, and the rear also has 20th-century windows. The interior has not been inspected. This building was originally the stables for the former Clopton Hall and is included for its group value.
