Former Stables And Kennels, Denbie

The former stables and kennels at Denbie date back to the 18th century and were remodeled between 1817 and 1818, with further additions made later. The building is arranged in a symmetrical U-plan around an open courtyard, which is walled to the north and features a gateway. It is constructed from rubble, primarily with stugged or droved ashlar dressings, and is mostly whitewashed with painted margins. The roof is covered with graded slates.

The structure consists of two tall parallel ranges that are two storeys high, with upper lofts and gables topped with ball finials. The northern gables each originally had an oculus, although one has since been altered. There is a low linking southern range that includes the kennels and a disused bothy. Both parallel ranges have been altered in the 20th century. The eastern range is mostly used for domestic purposes, featuring stop-chamfered 18th century doorways at the southern end, below louvred square loft openings, and a former door lintel dated 1818. A lean-to temporary shelter is located to the north. The western range has a low ground storey with a wide flat archway that has been converted into a door, accompanied by a forestair. Additionally, there is a large garage that was added in the earlier to mid-20th century.
