Description

The building is a stable block designed by Benjamin Ferrey, constructed between 1847 and 1848. It has an L-shaped layout and is a single-storey structure with a gabled roof. The north front has been altered, but it originally featured a door to the right of the center and a canted bay window to the left. The original gabled loft door has been converted into a window. The exterior is made of coursed squared rubble with stugged ashlar dressings. The roof has straight skews and is topped with rectangular corniced stacks. Additionally, there is a boundary wall made of coursed rubble, which is coped, and it includes a pair of rectangular ashlar gatepiers with cornices and shallow pyramidal cappings.
