Stables, Dunglass House

These stables, dating from circa 1807 and built for Richard Crichton, form a quadrangular stable court that has since been converted for domestic use. The construction is in roughly coursed sandstone with droved ashlar dressings and a base course. The stables are of severe classical style.

The southwest range is a 9-bay, single-storey structure with an attic. Three bays are slightly advanced and feature an open pedimented gable that breaks the eaves; a semi-circular archway is at the centre, with the upper part blocked and a bipartite window inserted, leaving a high pend below. Ground-floor windows flank the archway, and small bipartites are positioned above. Segmentally arched, first-floor bipartite windows are situated in the centres of three outer bays, each just breaking the eaves within a gabled dormerhead.

The northeast range is an 8-bay, single-storey structure with an attic, and features a 6-bay projection rounded at the corners. Two segmental windows are in the centre bays, flanked by segmental, tripartite doorways. A doorway is set in the advanced bay to the outer left, while the opposite end is blank. Windows are to the outer bays of the main range.

The northwest range consists of four single-storey bays of a centre block, with a segmentally arched doorway off-centre to the left, flanked by segmental windows, and a later window inserted at the outer right. Taller outer gabled bays are formed by the gabled ends of the front and rear ranges, each with a recessed full-height semi-circular arched panel. The upper part of these panels is detailed similarly to the entrance elevation. Stone mullioned bipartite windows are above the outer right window, with a single light window to the outer left.

The southeast range has a doorway in the single-storey central block, off-centre to the right, flanked by segmental windows. A blocked window is to the left, and a further segmental window is to the outer left of the single-storey range. The gabled outer bays are detailed like the northwest range, with bipartites at ground level in both bays.

Within the courtyard, some flagstones survive. The centre bays of the front range mirror the detailing of the exterior. A ground-floor window to the left is blocked, flanked to the left by a hayloft door breaking the eaves within a gabled dormerhead; a hayloft is to the right, detailed as above. Five segmental carriage openings are present within the northeast range, to the left, with a pedimented doorway at the centre and two further carriageways to the right. The single-storey ranges have irregular openings, with five windows to the southeast and four with a doorway to the northwest.

The windows are predominantly sash and case windows, and casements, using a small-pane glazing pattern in the bipartites. The roof has ashlar coped skews, and grey slates. Ashlar ridge stacks are present, some of which have been truncated.
