Description

The stable block, located about 70 metres west of Brympton House, is a Grade II* listed building dating from the early 18th century, specifically after 1720. Constructed from Ham stone ashlar, it features a hipped stone slate roof and has a 'U'-shaped plan. The building is single-storey with an attic and consists of seven bays, with the first and seventh bays projecting for three bays. Notable architectural details include a plinth, rusticated quoins, and eaves coving. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned and transomed two-light designs with square labels, complemented by two-light dormer windows in hipped-roof dormers above bays one, three, five, and seven. The central bay four contains a pair of part-glazed doors set in a plain chamfered opening, topped with an open pediment on console brackets. There is a similar door in the west return, while the east wing features two four-centre-arched doorways with labels, likely from the early 19th century, each with pairs of boarded doors. The interior has not been seen, and the timber-clad extensions to the rear on the north side are not considered of special interest.
