Description

The building is a two-storey stable located at Leighton Farm, constructed of brick with diagonal buttresses and coped gables topped with a slate roof. It features a centrally-placed covered loading bay flanked by a range of five windows on either side. Above the loading bay, there is a bullseye opening situated above two round-headed blind windows. The side walls are open under timber lintels, allowing for a vehicular passage through the building. The stable windows are set within round-headed panels. To the left of the loading bay, the lower-storey windows are blocked, while the upper-storey is partly weatherboarded. To the right of the loading bay, the windows have been partially infilled and replaced. The west gable includes a tall round-headed blind arch with a stone impost band, which contains a fixed round-headed window; the lower part of this window is open and fitted with battens. This gable also features a bullseye window. The east gable end has a similar bullseye window above a boarded door with a segmental head in the upper storey, along with an inserted window in the lower storey. At the rear on the east side, there are two segmental-headed doorways with stable doors, above which are round-headed openings. The west side also has stable doors and three round-headed openings in the upper storey, with an additional fourth opening added. The building was not inspected in November 1996.
