The Stables

The Stables is a 19th-century stable range constructed from colourwashed rubble stone, featuring renewed hipped slate roofs. It is a single storey with a loft and has a high ground floor. The formal facade consists of 1-1-3-1-1 bays, with the outer bays designed as pyramid-roofed pavilion towers and the central three bays slightly projecting and pedimented. There is a thin stepped course under the eaves and framing the pediment. Most openings have cut purple stone elliptical arched heads, similar to those on the Old Granary. The centre features a large louvred half-round lunette in the pediment and a broad door flanked by two close-set 35-pane windows below. The elliptical-headed windows have very small panes, and the doorway includes a matching fanlight above a 6-panel door leading to the throughway. Each broad wing has a single elliptical-headed opening, with the left wing containing 35-pane glazing and the right wing being blank. The towers have matching tall doorways with deep small-paned overlights and a corresponding first-floor louvred window. The large main roof is topped with a square louvred lantern at the right apex, covered by a leaded pyramid roof. The north end wall features a louvred first-floor window under the eaves, and a small-paned window has been inserted into a larger opening at ground level, with a dripstone above an oak lintel. A rubble stone wall with an arched doorway connects the northwest corner to a single-storey range attached to The Old Granary. The rear northwest single-storey range extends westward with a roof made of part slate and part asbestos, returning south at the west end. This section is constructed from rubble stone and includes double doors and a triple casement window on the south side, along with a cart entry featuring an elliptical arch at the south end of the return. The return has an added lean-to on the east side. The centre rear of the main stable has a large outshut with a window, door, and another window, with the door aligned with the front door. The wall to the right has one eaves-breaking gabled loft door, and there is a rubble stone lean-to on the south end wall.

Inside, the stable features large tie-beam roof trusses with wishbone struts. To the right of the through passage is a stable with four stalls, a cobbled floor, and two beams. To the left, there is a stable with two stalls on the front wall and two on the back, supported by one beam.
