Description
The Stable Block of Insole Court is a Grade II listed building constructed from squared, randomly coursed rock-faced pennant sandstone, featuring Bath limestone ashlar dressings and quoins, topped with Welsh slate roofs. This single-storey range of stables has two-storey pavilions at either end. The left pavilion includes a tack-room and hayloft, while the right pavilion houses a coach-house. The central section displays three windows and a doorway, all featuring Caernarvon arched heads. To the left, there is a doorway flanked by windows, and to the right, there are coach-house doors; both pavilions have a dormer entrance for the hayloft. As of April 2002, all openings are currently blocked. The pavilions have pyramid roofs, with the left pavilion featuring a tall louvred vent topped with a steeple roof, a tall chimney stack with offsets, and a rear dormer window with a sash. The building was not available for inspection at the time of resurvey.
