Stables, Haymount, Bridgend, Duns

Haymount is an early 19th-century classical villa with mid-19th-century additions, located in Bridgend, Duns. The building is two stories high and has three bays, constructed from stugged cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, featuring a moulded cornice and base course on the main facades.

The west elevation is symmetrical with three bays, where the center bay slightly projects. It has three steps leading to a panelled door with a rectangular fanlight and a Tuscan pilastered doorpiece. Above this door is a tripartite window with blind sidelights. The ground floor features later canted windows, each with a cornice and blocking course, in the flanking bays, while there are single windows above. To the right, there is a further bay set back with windows on both floors.

The south elevation also has three bays, with the left bay containing windows on both floors. The center bay, made of advanced rubble, has a window at ground level, while the irregular rubble right bay features small windows at both the ground and first floors.

On the east elevation, there are four bays of irregular rubble. The left bay has a glazed door at ground level and large and small windows above. The advanced center left bay contains windows on both floors, while the center right bay is set back with a window on the first floor. The right bay, slightly further back, has a glazed door at ground level and a window above.

The north elevation features a blank bay to the right with a rubble finish and scars of a pitched roof at ground level, with ashlar above. To the left, there are three bays set back, including a door and a large window above in the re-entrant angle, with regular fenestration in the two left bays.

The villa has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with the canted windows having 10 lying panes. It is topped with a piended grey slate roof and has rendered stacks.

The interior was not seen in 1994.

The property also includes a boundary wall made of stugged ashlar with saddleback coping, featuring a pair of decorative wrought-iron gates and a gatepier with a pyramidal cope to the north.

To the north of the villa are stables, which are a single-storey and attic oblong range made of sandstone rubble. They have a pair of boarded cart doors on the north and south sides, along with a boarded stable door that has a 5-pane fanlight and three flanking windows on the south side. The stables also feature timber sash and case windows and a pitched roof covered with grey slates.
