Description

The stables at Inchmartine House date from around 1800 and include a later chapel. This single-storey, U-shaped coach house features a classical pend entrance and an octagonal dovecot. The pend is stuccoed, while the dovecot is made of ashlar, with the rest constructed from rubble and harl.

On the southwest elevation, there is a tall, pedimented, round-headed arch pend entrance at the center, leading to the dovecot, which has narrow round-headed window-like openings on each face. The western opening is glazed, while most are blind, and the structure is topped with a cornice, blocking course, and a metal dome with a ball finial. To the left of the entrance is a window, followed by two boarded timber doors with small-pane fanlights. To the right, there is a modern lean-to porch beyond a window.

The southeast elevation features a door to the right of center, with two windows beyond it. There is an altered casement window to the left, with a door beyond, and a broad blank bay under a corrugated roof on the outer left.

On the northwest elevation, there are three windows for residential bays on the left, while the stables on the right have a large altered door beneath a sloping corrugated roof.

The outer elevations show a variety of openings, some altered, including an inappropriate garage door on the northeast elevation. The windows are primarily timber sash and case with 12-pane and plate glass glazing, except where noted otherwise. The roof is covered with grey slates and corrugated iron, and there is a coped harled stack with ashlar-coped skews.

The chapel, added in the late 19th century, has a swept roof that is slated and barge-boarded. It is built from red sandstone with squared and snecked rubble and ashlar dressings. The chapel features a raised base course, corbelled eaves cornice, and round-headed openings, with an interior that has a rib-vaulted ceiling.

On the southwest elevation of the chapel, there is a pitch-roofed stone porch breaking the eaves to the left of center, with a boarded timber door, a small light to the left, and two further lights to the right. The southeast elevation has a gabled design with a tall raised-center tripartite window. The northeast elevation contains four regularly spaced small lights, while the northwest elevation has had stonework removed to allow tractor access.
