Description
The former stables of Torwood House date from the later 19th century and are designed in a single-storey, U-plan layout. The building is constructed of rubble.
The stables feature deep yellow brick arch rings and have a gabled roof covered with small grey slates. The western range remains in its original condition, although it has undergone partial reconstruction, with the roofs removed from the northern and eastern ranges, which now have flat roofs.
In the western range, there is a gabled bay at the center that includes a round-arched carriage pend entrance on the west side. This gabled pend bay is mirrored in the courtyard to the east, featuring a round-arch topped with a doocot that has three tiers of flight-holes, which has been reconstructed. On either side of the pend entrance are depressed-arched carriage arches.
The northern range has a round-arched pend entrance, which is surmounted by the remains of three tiers of flight-holes on the south side, with depressed-arched carriage arches flanking it on the left and right.
