Description

The stable wing attached to the east gable of the Old Rectory is a stable wing, barns, and other accommodation that is now linked to the house. It dates from the 1730s and is constructed from cut and squared Cary stone with a hipped plain clay tile roof and brick chimney stacks. The building has a cranked plan and is mostly two storeys high, comprising a total of nine bays.

Bays one to three serve as barns and stabling, set at an angle to the rest of the structure and the house. The living accommodation begins in bay four, which features a half hipped gable, while bays five and six have pitched roof dormers, with bay six incorporating a worn datestone from 173-. The remaining three bays project forward, with a gable over bay eight.

The windows are mostly horizontal bar casement types, with bays seven to nine set under voussoired segmental arches. There are tall doorways in bays one, two, and three, a small doorway in the lower part of bay six, and a small flat-roofed porch to the right of bay nine, which is in the corner against the house and likely dates from the early 20th century. This stable wing is an important part of the group in relation to the Old Rectory.
