Dunselma Stables Including Boundary Walls, Strone

Dunselma Stables, along with its boundary walls, was built for James Coats Junior by architects Rennison and Scott between 1885 and 1886. This complex of buildings showcases the wealth of late 19th century industrialists and is significant in the views to and from the main house at Dunselma. The stables and staff living quarters are arranged in an L-plan and are 1½ stories tall.

The stables are believed to have been constructed at the same time as the main house. The main elevation faces southeast towards the High Road and features an asymmetrical design with a crow-stepped gable on the right and a pointed dormer on the left. The windows are either single or bipartite with stone mullions, and there is a round-headed single door. The return elevation, which faces the main house and may have been the original principal elevation, has two prominent crow-stepped gables. Decorative elements include moulded string and eaves courses, as well as hood-moulds. The courtyard's interior elevations have regular window arrangements and pedimented dormers. The courtyard entrance is located to the northeast. A small L-plan greenhouse once stood to the northeast of the courtyard but has since been demolished.

The stables fell into disrepair during the later 20th century, but restoration work was underway as of 2004. The ventilator spire and wind-vane had been removed for re-leading at that time.

The building is constructed of harled walls with sandstone ashlar dressings, featuring a partly slated roof with a stone ridge, ashlar stacks, and clay cans. It has cast iron rainwater goods and timber sash and case windows. The boundary wall is a high harled structure topped with pointed ashlar coping.
