Description
The stables at Lainshaw date from the late 18th or early 19th century and are a single-storey building with an attic, arranged around a courtyard. Originally used as stables, they have been converted into houses, as observed in 2008. The building is located to the north of Lainshaw House, which is listed separately, and features an entrance pend to the south. The southern elevation is constructed of droved ashlar sandstone, while the other sides are made of coursed, snecked rubble with smooth margins. It has a base course, impost course, cornice, and blocking course on the south side, along with some cat-slide dormers and later skylights.
The south elevation is symmetrical with seven bays, featuring a central segmental-arched pend topped with a pediment. The flanks are arcaded with recessed rectangular window openings. The windows are predominantly replacement 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are raised skews, coped gables, and wallhead stacks, some of which lack cans. Velux rooflights are also present.
The interior was partially visible in 2008 and has been comprehensively modernised.
