Full Description
'The Stables, N.E. of the house, form an H-shaped plan and are probably of early 17th-century date; they are of two storeys or one storey with attics and the roofs are slate covered. Some of the elevations have neen much altered, but the windows, where original, are nearly all of three transomed lights. The interior has been modernised but the central range has a reset early 16th-century roof with six trusses of collar-beam type with curved braces forming an ogee point at the apex'. (1)
