A 2 storey 5 bay wide stone built partially derelict stable block with partly collapsed slated roof symmetrically composed in Georgian style and enclosing a courtyard on 4 sides. The S and entrance façade has central segmental arched gateway, sandstone trimmed in short and long voissoirs, on each side 2 vertical window openings, some built up, at first floor level 900mm diam. oculii over openings below, each with moulded architrave. First floor continues over gateway. The courtyard is square with 2 storey buildings enclosing it. Window and doors occur spasmodically and there was, in the past, living accommodation within the block and several stairways. First floor constructed of timber. Much of the roof timbers are collapsed. The exterior wall of the stable looked onto a wall garden no longer extant except for arched gateway access. There are no other openings in this wall. The east wall has a segmented gateway with several window openings occurring randomly. The stable block is sited to the NW of the main house and a short distance from it. What would have been the back avenue passes it. To the rear and to the north of the stable block is another walled garden in an unkempt state. The walls are built of random rubble schist with sandstone and brick trim.
