Description
The stables at Fountainhall date from the earlier 19th century and have undergone later alterations. They feature a symmetrical, classical design with sandstone masonry. The masonry is roughly squared with rough droving on the east side and rear, while the south front and west side are squared, coursed, and droved. The central bay has a pediment with a segmental arch leading to a barrel-vaulted pend, and there is a loft above with an oculus in the pediment. This central section is connected to two-storey, piend-roofed outer pavilions by three low, slightly recessed bays on each side. The western side has a central door flanked by windows, while the eastern side includes two doorways and one window.
Both pavilion blocks have had additions. The western pavilion retains a segmental carriage arch, which is currently glazed, and has a window above on the south elevation, along with a conservatory added to the west. Unfortunately, the structure has been altered by the addition of a modern porch to the south and later windows on the side and rear. The original windows feature a 12-pane glazing pattern, while the later windows have a 4-pane pattern, both in sash and case form. The roof is covered with grey-green slates, and there are harled and brick wallhead stacks.
