Description

The wagon house and attached stable at Buckland Farm is a 19th-century structure made of stone rubble with tooled stone dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The building features a range of four boarded first-floor openings with central mullions and shallow sills located directly under the eaves. On the ground floor to the right, there are four cartshed bays with wide segmental arches, voussoirs, a keystone, and quoins. To the left end, there are two narrow doorways with boarded stable doors. The gable end on the right has a large first-floor window with multipane glazing beneath a single stone lintel, while the left side has a chamfered angle with a central doorway flanked by two multipane hopper windows, with similar windows above. The rear of the building has similar boarded openings at the first-floor level.

Attached at a right angle to the left is a single-storey stable range featuring tooled quoins, lintels, surrounds, and sills. This stable range includes two doorways with boarded stable doors and three windows with hoppers, and the roof has two ventilators. The L-shaped range and an attached remodelled barn at the rear create a courtyard for stock, which is enclosed by a stone wall.

Inside, the stable retains some wooden stalls and a stable tile floor. A side doorway in the cartshed range leads to an internal loft staircase.
