Description

August 1986. Grade II listed. An 18th or 19th century timber framed and weatherboarded stable range on a brick plinth. The building is single storey with a red plain tiled roof. There are three stable doors to the South with three fixed windows between. <1> June 1999. Heritage assessment. This building is not on the 1897 map and was inserted into, the Southern farmyard along the line of an existing yard division. The West end of the building makes use of the North-South boundary wall, which is approximately 4ft high, for its lower construction with the main softwood frame being built from it. It is divided into three separate units each with its own split (stable) entrance door to the South. It has one window to each of these units and also three small vents on the North wall. Inside the divisions are boarded. A line of oak framed feed troughs along the North wall are about 3' 6" high. Staple positions for tying exist in the centre post of the troughs. The troughs are of unusual construction in having a centre post within each bay unit but with an extra post in the centre of one half of each of these trough units. The building with its insulation, smooth inner walls, wide split entrance doors, light and ventilation suggests a stable block. The timber used has a mix of reciprocating and circular saw markings suggesting a date in the early 20th century. <2>
