Description
Stable House at Minard Castle is an early 19th century Georgian building. It is arranged with four sides around a central yard and constructed of rubble with a piended slate roof. The central entrance to the pend features a segmental head, with an oculus above it. Each side of the building has two blind arches that frame round-headed windows. The yard is harled and white-washed, and includes a two-way stair leading to the first floor, as well as a segmental-headed doorway that leads to the former stables and windows. There is also a lean-to addition on the west side.
