Appraisal
With a random stone boundary wall and sandstone bridge spanning the stream, this stable block makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of the area. Though in a poor state of repair, its architectural design and detailing remain impressive. Notable features include cut stone voussoirs and brick dressings to openings and battened doors. These elements give the structure character and are also technically significant.
