Description
This is a late 18th century or early 19th century outbuilding located on the north side of the Stable Court at Glandovan. It is constructed from whitewashed rubble stone and features a hipped slate roof to the west. At the eastern end, there is an added bay that includes a large square whitewashed stone bell-tower with arched openings and a pyramid slate roof. The building has a long two-storey range with two stone outside stairs, each with arched recesses beneath. The stairs at the eastern end provide access to a door leading to the ringing floor for the bell.
To the left of the stairs, there is a double-fronted stable with a central door and a window on each side, along with two windows above, all featuring timber lintels. The second set of stairs to the left leads to a loft door. Beyond the stable, there is a long range that includes two upper windows and two rows of approximately twenty paired dove holes below, as well as a ground floor door accessed by steps. This area is obscured by a 20th-century lean-to, which also covers a vent loop, another door, and two loops. The rear wall facing the drive has dove-openings and various blocked doors and windows with cut-stone voussoirs, indicating that the building may have originally faced north.
Inside, the eastern end stable retains a timber arcade of former stalls, while there are two main ground floor rooms to the west, featuring massive beams. The roofs throughout the building are collar-truss with bolted collars.
Additionally, there is a rubble stone wall that runs east to enclose the yard, which includes two Cilgerran stone gatepiers with fluted friezes, cornices, and pyramid caps. The double iron gates have top-rails that ramp down to a meeting stile and feature curved strengthening bars, similar to the gates at Glandovan Lodge. Another pair of gatepiers, also similar in design and one topped with a ball finial, flank the drive to the north.
