Description
The stable at Town Farm is a 17th-century stable block constructed from thinly coursed rubble stone, topped with a 20th-century corrugated metal roof. The east front faces the roadway, featuring a stable on the left and a cartshed on the right. It is a two and a half storey structure. The first floor on the left side has a loft with boarded double doors. The ground floor stable includes a chamfered doorway with a flat head inscribed '1671' and a 17th-century plank and batten door fitted with 'trident' strap hinges. To the right, there is a tall wooden 7-light window with diamond mullions from the 17th century. The north end has a small boarded loft door and a broad ground floor carriage entry with a 20th-century boarded door. The south gable features blocked window openings in the gable head and on the first floor, as well as a ground-floor segmental arched window with stone voussoirs and a keystone, which is a re-used window inserted into a partly blocked opening.
Inside, the stable has a chamfered ceiling beam, while the cartshed features a raking queen strut roof truss. The stable loft was not accessible during the time of resurvey.
