Stables, Dinnet House Policies

The stables at Dinnet House Policies were built around 1890, with possible minor alterations made between 1920 and 1925 by George Bennet Mitchell. This well-detailed, mostly unaltered single-storey and attic U-plan stable block features a lower garage conversion at the eastern wing. The structure is made from large granite blocks with raised margins and some bull-faced cills. It has crowstepped gables topped with finials or stacks, and attic windows with piended dormer heads that break the eaves. Conical-roofed circular ridge ventilators add to its character.

The courtyard elevation faces southeast and includes lower projecting outer wings, with the southwest wing featuring an M-gable and the northeast wing having broad garage-type doors on the return to the left. The windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the building has coped ashlar stacks and ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts. Additionally, there are cast iron square-section gutters and downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers.
