Description
Stable Cottage at Shambellie House in New Abbey was designed by Andrew Scott C.E. of Dumfries and built around 1859. This structure served as the former offices and coachman's cottage, arranged around three sides of an open courtyard.
The cottage is a single-storey building with three bays and enlarged east-facing windows, featuring a rear wing that opens to the courtyard. It is constructed of painted rubble. The offices consist of two single-storey rectangular-plan ranges, both with lofts and built from white granite, enclosing the courtyard to the north and west.
The north range includes an off-centre segmental arched pend, boarded doors, small-paned windows, and a gabled loft doorway. The other range features two sliding doors leading to the courtyard, situated below a canopy, with the roof sloping down at the west (rear) to a single-storey level, and two inner west-facing doors beneath a gabled head. Both sections have slate roofs.
