Stable. Early C18 and C19. Rubblestone with freestone quoins
and dressings and a C19 English-bond wing to the right with
similar quoins and dressings, all with a stone slate roof.
L-plan.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 2 windows to the rear. A forward-facing
gable to the C18 block has a freestone surround and planked
door to a loading bay over high C20 garage doors with brick
jambs. The right return has a wide C18 planked door in a
chamfered freestone architrave. The mid C19 brick right wing
is open to the ground floor with a small planked door above.
The gabled right return has exposed rafter ends.
The rear, of rubblestone with a vertical joint between the C18
and C19 blocks, has a leaded cyma-moulded 2-light window with
square lights to the C18 block and a fixed 6-pane window to
the C19 block. Interior remodelled in late C19 with late C19
roof trusses.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: coped rubblestone walls surround the
site. Attached to the front left of the stable, approx 4m
high, it sweeps down to 2m and extends approx 10m forward to
the street. There, a 1m length meets a low pier with a
pyramidal cap. A similar pier flanks an entrance (probably
widened C20), then the wall approx 1.5m high fronts the house
(qv). Toward the centre are similar gate piers approx 2m high.
The wall bordering the churchyard to the right (north) returns
for approx 10m and is attached to the house. To the rear of
the stable the wall, approx 3m high extends back for approx
10m, turns right (north) and bounds the site for approx 40m.
Approx 10m from the left corner is a blocked doorway with a
chamfered rusticated freestone architrave. At the right end
the wall sweeps up, turns forward for approx 10m, sweeping up
again to approx 4m and attaches to the house with a freestone
arch and C20 door through to the churchyard.
