Description
Roft Castle Stables is a two-storey stable block built in a picturesque style similar to the Trevalyn estate buildings in the village. The ground floor is made of roughly squared and coursed rubble, while the upper floor is constructed of red brick. It features a slate roof and brick chimneys, with a bracketed eaves cornice running throughout the building.
The elevation facing Springfield Lane is nearly symmetrical and includes an attached lower range to the left. All openings on the building are either blind or blocked. The central bay slightly projects and features an arched door opening with a triangular brick pediment and a label. The upper level has a bullseye window flanked by mock arrow slits. The flanking bays also have bullseyes and arrow slits on the upper floor, while the ground floor has openings with brick ogee heads.
The attached range to the left has a pair of circular openings with a mock arrow slit between them on the upper floor. The return elevations have bracketed cornices that extend for a short distance at the eaves level. Side and rear openings relate to a late 20th-century conversion. At the rear, there is a yard area with stone walls and mock arrow slits set into the hillside. The building was not accessible at the time of the 1995 survey.
