Full Description
April 1994. Listed, Grade II.
Former stable. Red brick English bond with thatched roof. 4 bays, single storey. Two original blocked doorways and later openings with traces of original windows. Four blocked ventilation slits at rear; to left 4 slits and 2 windows and limestone plaque 1758 GRM below a honeycombe panel. Right hand end with 6 slits and owl hole. Tumbled gables. All the slits are remarkable in that they form a I with central cross stroke and serifs. Interior has tiebeams on straight braces from wallposts and ovolo moulded terminals. 5 pairs principal rafters and collars, but only one truss above tiebeam. 2 tiers butt purlins.
See (S1).
The ovolo moulded wallposts, if accurately described, could be very important; is this a reuse or a genuine survival of mid 17th century stylistic details into the mid 18th century?
