Description
Early 16th century timber-framed, weatherboarded and brick nogged stable, with long wall jetty on west side. It has a red plain tile roof and two storeys, with stable range below, and grand chamber above. There is a five window range at first floor, with oriels, with roll moulded cills and vertical mullions. The ground floor has two original doorways with four centred arches, and two original square windows.
Internally there is an original ladder stair at north end with a braced side purlin roof and jowled storey posts. There are also stop chamfered top plates and tie beams, with halved and bridled top plate scarfs, and soffit tenon with diminished haunches to floor joists. All work of high quality, the first floor being probably a feast room or manorial court room. <1>
