Former stable block and adjoining bakery cart shed, now
workshops. Late C18 with late C19 alterations, restored late
C20. Brick with hipped and gabled pantile and gabled slate
roofs. Former stable block, to right, 2 storeys; 5-window
range. Projecting end bays with string course and coped
gables, with an elliptical-arched carriage entrance, the left
one with a pair of board doors, the right one with a pair of
similar half-glazed doors under a lintel. In the centre, to
left, a pair of plain sashes with splayed lintels. To right, a
shallow recess with a wooden infill panel and two 8-pane
windows. Below, to left, a plain sash with concrete lintel,
flanked to left by a wide door and to right by a door with
splayed lintel. To right, a pair of half-glazed carriage doors
with wooden lintel, then a board door with overlight. Cart
