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.

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.
