3/279 Hayne Farm and stables adjoining
- at the south

GV II

House and stable block. Circa late C18/early C19 stable block part of which has been
incorporated into a circa 1840s house. Stone rubble house with slate roofs, hipped
at north end, gabled at east end. 1 large projecting lateral stack, 1 pair of
rendered, diagonally set chimney shafts. In the early C19 the north end of the
stable block appears to have been converted to house accommodation and a wing was
added to the west forming an L-plan. The converted stables and the new wing were
fenestrated in a Tudor style. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4-window front, slightly
advanced at the right-hand which has a roof hipped to the front and which is the end
of the former stable block. The wing has a stepped gable at the left end. Arched
front door under a sloping slate canopy carried on brackets to the right-hand of the
wing. All the windows are timber casements with high transoms and Tudor arched
lights above the transoms, all with diagonal leaded panes. To the left of the front
door 1 ground floor and 1 first floor 2-light casement. To the right of the front
door is one 2-light casement with a timber lintel and 1 canted bay window with 2
lights to the front and 1 to each return. First floor window right is a 3-light
casement under a timber lintel. The left return of the wing has one 2-light casement
below an arched timber Gothic 2-light window, also with diagonal leaded panes.
Interior The cross beams and joists of ground floor room right correspond to those
extant in the adjoining stable. The large fireplace to the lateral stack may be
earlier than the mid C19 suggesting that there may have been an earlier phase to the
conversion of the north end of the stable block.
The stable block has a slate roof hipped at the south end and 4 stable entrances
under segmental brick arches with keystones. 2 large under segmental brick arches
with keystones have double doors. 2 round ventilation holes to the loft with brick
arches, pigeon holes under eaves. A later stone stair leads up to one of the loft
entrances. Massive cross beams to the stables, C19 king post and strut roof to the
loft is probably a replacement.
