Description
The stable building, located to the west of Shaw End, is likely from the early 19th century, although the rear wing features a datestone marked "AS/1864". It is constructed from coursed stone rubble with dressed quoins and some ashlar, topped with a slate roof. The south facade consists of five bays, with the central bay projecting forward under a pedimented gable. There is an impost band at the ground floor and a cornice band above. The ground floor includes a large round-headed entrance with paired doors in the central bay, while the other bays have round-headed openings; the outer ones are blocked, and the inner ones contain entrances with fanlights. The first floor has ventilation slots, except for the central bay. The gable features an octagonal cupola on a square base, adorned with panelled angle pilasters, a clock face, columns, a cornice, and a wind vane with a heraldic crest depicting a hand grasping an arrow, along with a bell. To the left, there is a small extension with a front canopy. The rear of the building has a later gable wing, which includes entrances with flat arches, two of which are now blocked, and a first-floor loading door that has been fitted with a spiral fire escape. The wing also features an entrance, a window, and a loading door with lintels, along with rock-faced quoins.
