Description

The building known as Stables is a former stable block with an attached cottage, likely dating from the 18th century, with the cottage probably from the early 19th century and a late 19th-century extension. The cottage is constructed from local lias stone that is roughly squared and coursed, while the extension is rendered with one quoin in brickwork. The stables are made of red brick in Flemish bond. The cottage features a thatched roof with plain gables, and the stables have a hipped plain clay tile roof that is somewhat undulating, along with brick chimney stacks.

The structure has an irregular T-plan and is mostly two storeys high. The roadside elevation displays five bays of stables, followed by the return gable of the cottage and the flank of the extension. The stable block was originally symmetrical, featuring a central large segmental archway framed in ashlar, with flanking bays that had segmental arched windows and outer bays 2 and 4 containing semi-circular arched doorways leading to the loft, which are topped with small arched dormers.

The cottage has an entrance located in the angle, sheltered by a timber and tile hood. The projecting gable is plain below, with two pointed arched windows above that have brick and stone voussoirs and Y-tracery casements. The south-west flank of the cottage includes a variety of casement windows. In the gable of the extension, there is a datestone inscribed "DHH 1896", although the side casements of the projection are of an earlier design. The interior has not been seen. The cottage is picturesque, while the stables are of local interest, possibly built to serve the predecessor of Sutton Montis House across the road in the early 20th century, and are not considered of special interest.
