Stables And Byre Adjoining About 40 Metres West Of Hadspen House

The stables and later byre, located about 40 meters west of Hadspen House, were built in 1747 for Vickris Dickinson. Constructed from Cary stone ashlar, the building features a hipped Welsh slate roof and is a single storey with seven bays. The second to sixth bays project slightly and have a pedimented gable. There is a plinth and an eaves course, while bays one and seven have been altered to include brick-lined segmental arched doorways. The building has cruciform windows, now fitted with cast iron diamond pane casements, in bays two, three, five, and six. There is a plain door in a segmental brick arch in bay three, a clock in the gable pediment, and a centrally located open timber turret with a bell and windvane on the roof ridge. The byre consists of nine bays under a Welsh slate roof, with the first two bays blocked by later windows, while the remaining bays are open and mostly supported by tapering circular brick columns. This structure is part of a notable 18th-century estate.
