Description

The Stable Block at Rhual is a 19th-century structure featuring a yard elevation made of random roughly squared rubble with quoins and a slate roof. It has a pair of stable doors set under cambered painted brick arches, flanked by multipaned windows also under similar arches. On the upper floor, there are three square pitching eyes that do not align with the openings below. To the left, there is a rectilinear partially blocked opening, and below it, a former cart or threshing opening has been blocked. To the right, there is a door leading to the tack room, and an attached house with tall stone and brick chimneys, which has a multipaned window on the ground floor and a square multipaned dormer above. The left-hand return gable end features blocked ventilation slits, and the random rubble has been pointed to resemble coursed masonry. The rear elevation includes paired brick arches rising from stone imposts to create a carriage shed, while the rest of the elevation has been pointed like the gable end. To the left, the gable end of the house projects forward. Inside, the ceilings have heavy bridging and secondary beams, some of which are likely reused.
