Description

Stables with a hayloft over. It is early 19th century and of red brick and flint, and roofed with slate. It is aligned north-east to south-west, facing south-east, and rounded at both ends. It is two storeys. On the ground floor are three casements with semi-circular arches of gauged brick, and two plain boarded doors with segmental arches. On the first floor there are three slatted windows and a pitching door, all with semi-circular arches. The stable has a low-pitched slate roof, half-conoid at the ends. The brickwork is of Flemish bond on the straight, header bond on the curves. Most of the flintwork is of uncoursed rubble, but there is a band of knapped flint approximately one metre above ground level. <1>
