Large stable at Finnebrogue estate farmyard, at 31 Killyleagh Road, Finnabrogue, Downpatrick, Co Down

Large, pre 1834 two storey rubble-built gabled stable building, with (slightly later) partly open single storey lean-to to south, large recent sliding door opening to west and east gable reconstructed in concrete block . The stable is part of a complex built in various stages from (perhaps) c.1790s, to the mid 1900s. The farmyard is located on the SE side of Killyleagh Road, roughly two miles N of Downpatrick, with the stable itself to the south side of the grouping. To the W gable of the barn is a relatively recent looking large flat arched doorway with sliding door. Much of the façade around this gable is patched in concrete block and render. There is a projecting tall square pier to the right of the doorway. The long N elevation has a timber sheeted pedestrian door to far left with a boarded up pedestrian door to the centre. Directly above each of these doorways, and at the same level in between the doorways, is a square-ish brick dressed window opening (four in all) each with the remains of Georgian-paned sash frame. Directly above each of these windows is a similar sized window- all of these upper windows are boarded up. The S elevation is dominated by the large full length single storey lean-to. This has a slated roof supported on evenly spaced battered stone piers. It appears to have been originally completely open, but, to the N end the spaces have been filled in with brick and crudely fashioned timber and ‘chicken wire’ frames. The E gable has been also entirely rebuilt in concrete block and has no openings. The façade, outside of the E gable and much of the W gable, is in semi-coursed fieldstone rubble, with the gabled roof slated.
