3 Champfleurie Stables, Champfleurie Home Farm

A group of farm buildings dated 1845, originally constructed in a U-plan steading layout and subsequently altered for residential use. The buildings are largely constructed from cream-coloured, stugged coursed sandstone rubble, with the west (principal) elevation of the west range being squared.

The west range is a two-storey former stable block. The west elevation has 11 symmetrical bays, incorporating a moulded string course, bipartite windows, hoodmoulds, and a crenellated parapet. The central three bays and the gabled end bays are slightly advanced and taller. There are doorways in the centre, to the second and fourth bays on the right, and the same on the left. The end bays have blocked doorways, with bipartite windows in the remaining bays at ground and first floor levels. The east (courtyard) elevation has 13 bays, with three Tudor-arched carriage arches in the taller central section. Above the carriage arches is a bipartite window with a wooden mullion, formerly serving a hayloft. The left side has six bays, with doors flanked by windows in each of the three bays; a small bipartite window sits above the door furthest to the left. The right side features four bays, with a door and window in each of the two bays, and a small bipartite window above the door furthest to the right. Ground floor windows have 8 panes, while the first-floor windows on the west elevation have 6 panes. The east elevation windows are a mix of 8-pane and 12-pane sash and case windows, with the carriage archway glazed. The roof is grey slate, with Velux rooflights to the courtyard, and features ashlar coped and moulded skews, blocked skewputts, and a group of three moulded and coped polygonal ashlar stacks on the gables of the central three-bay block.

The north range is single-storey with nine asymmetrical bays. The north elevation has a door to the second and fifth bays from the right. A round-headed arch on the outer left has been glazed in windows. The south (courtyard) elevation also has six asymmetrical bays, with doors in the first, second, and fifth bays from the left.

The east range, also single-storey, has a west (courtyard) elevation featuring three asymmetrical bays. The buildings are joined to form a U-plan arrangement extending to the southeast. A two-storey house is situated to the right, with a gabled west elevation and a bipartite window at first floor level. It includes ashlar coped skews, ball finials to the skewputts, a tall stack to the right, single-storey wings on the north and south gabled end walls, joined by a wall with a door to the main courtyard. Sash and case windows are present throughout. The roof is grey slate with Velux rooflights, ashlar coped skews, and stacks to the gables.

The steading was described in 1845 as being “in the course of erection” and “very superior.”
