Description
Blue Lion Stables is an early 19th-century stable building constructed from coursed rubble with a stone slate roof. The front features three first-floor windows and a central carriage entrance, which has ashlar quoined jambs, small imposts, and a segmental arch. The arch is detailed with springers, voussoirs that have herring-bone tooling in draughted margins, and a keystone. Other openings on the building have ashlar sills and lintels. There are two board doors with overlights and three ground-floor windows, two of which are four-pane side-sliding sashes, while the others are part-glazed and part-shuttered. At the back, there are single-storey stables and a coach-house, which has an inscription on the lintel reading 'S. C. L. 1900', referring to Samuel Cunliffe Lister, a former owner of the village. The building is included for its group value.
