Full Description
Stable block, probably designed by John Paterson, circa 1810. Some openings have been altered. Fine 2-storey, 7-bay, rectangular-plan, Classically-detailed stable block with blind oculus to pedimented pend arch leading to centre courtyard with finialled stone-pedimented dormerheads, 2-leaf timber doors and diamond-pattern fanlights. Squared, snecked and coursed rubble with wide pilaster strips, dressed quoins and raised margins. Deep base course, eaves cornice and blocking course. Segmental-arched openings, voussoirs. The southeast elevation with advanced pedimented pend at centre. Flanking bays each have tall round-arched detail, bays to right with round-headed windows, that to outer right decoratively-astragalled and full-height. There is a bay to left of centre with 6-panelled timber door and 3-part fanlight, square-headed windows in outer bays and three small windows close to eaves, probably inserted. Courtyard elevations have arched coach house openings (one converted to a window) and slightly smaller arched openings. There are some small first floor windows close to eaves and some breaking eaves into dormerheads. Timber stalls with drinking troughs and ironwork hay baskets, and blockwork floor. Some simple moulded plasterwork. Multi-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows throughout. Small grey slates. Coped ashlar shouldered wallhead stacks and small ridge stacks, with cans. Cast iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers. Desk based assessment and buildings appraisal was carried out by AOC Archaeology in 2010, and subsequent standing building survey undertaken in November 2016, at which time the building had been renovated and interior features removed.
