February 2018. Heritage assessment. A mid 19th century timber framed stable building on a red brick plinth and clad with circular sawn weather boards. Map evidence suggests the building was constructed between 1841 and 1876. The roof has triple Roman tiles of early 20th century design but are late 20th century replacements. Large sections of the brick plinth have been repaired in the late 20th or early 21st century. Internally, the building was equipped with internal kick-boarding, hayracks and mangers of which only one hayrack survives. There are concrete floors throughout the building. The central part of the building has been divided into two units. The larger store is partitioned to form a smaller room now used a small Garage. Both rooms were originally boarded throughout and must have been equipped as a stables and stall. The second store is a former stable accessed from the West and the Southernmost room is now used to keep goats but is evidently also a former stable. The room was originally boarded out internally but they have been removed along with the hayracks and mangers. <1>
