Description
The Stable Block at Bryn Hir is a two-storey structure built from roughly coursed and squared stone, topped with a slate roof. It features a balanced design with outer gables and has been extended to the right to include a small cottage. This cottage has a single window on the ground floor, a doorway to the right, and a dormer window in the roof above. Each gable is adorned with a segmentally arched four-pane sash window on the first floor. There is a doorway in the inner angle of the left-hand wing, and the central range and right-hand gable have paired coach house doors.
Inside, the stables are accessed from a passage that leads through an archway with semi-octagonal responds and rough capitals. These capitals are believed to have been made from stones taken from the original arcade of around 1500 in the Church of Saint Catherine, which was replaced during a restoration around 1870. The stable area retains its timber stall dividers and features a cobbled floor laid out in a very controlled pattern.
