Poor condition.
E. Rose (NAU), 25 January 1978.

However reference (S1) says the building is certainly 17th century and contains a stable of great rarity as well as a barn. Tiebeams rest on expanded wallposts and roof has collars and butt purlins. Barn has tiebeams and arched braces.

Single storey with overloft, and with 2 stable doorways giving access to rear yard, a single window and a pitching hole serving the loft, to road frontage.
INTERIOR: contemporary partition with narrow doorway between the 2 stables. Right-hand side (south) with tack pegs to either side of door, and hay chute into racks along end wall. 5-bay roof with chamfered double purlins, tie beams supported by jowled posts, and principal rafters not aligned with tie beams. Half-lapped dovetailed collar beams, and replacement collars bolted to principals. Straight braces from jowl posts to tie beam soffits. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: single storey stable to south, riding horse stables with 19th century fittings to north.
HISTORY: Stables of this period which retain contemporary fixtures are rare, and this timber-framed example, despite alteration, is a significant survival.
