Description
The Stables complex, located 70 metres west of Horsington Manor, is a group of stables mostly from the 18th century. The structure is built from rough squared local stone and features plain clay tiles over stone slate base courses on the main block, with Welsh slate on the sides. The building has a hollow rectangular plan with a gap at the northern corner and is single storey with a main wing that has four bays. It includes elliptical arched openings, some with leaded casements, and two full-height cart doors on the return. On the eastern side, there is a small fodder building with a pyramidal Welsh slate roof, which has two open elliptical arches below and a stable-type door on the left. Attached to the south side is the groom's cottage, which has 18th-century origins but was reshaped in the early 20th century; it retains a three-light leaded casement in the street elevation. The group presents an impressive street line and serves as an important addition to Horsington Manor.
