Description

The Stables and Brood Mare's Yard is a 19th-century building made of rubble with slate roofs. It is a long, low structure featuring five stables arranged in a nearly symmetrical design around a central tack room. Each stable has its own individual yard on the east front, enclosed by brick walls with piers, although some of the central yards have been demolished. These yards extend 30 meters to gates at the end, leading to another trackway. The stables have boarded doors and small-pane pivot windows, including those at the rear, and access is available from both sides. The roof is constructed in an 'A'-frame style, with a single tier of purlins and doubled collars.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
