Stables, now at least partially in residential use, built in circa 1890, possibly with minor alterations in circa 1920-25 by George Bennet Mitchell and located to the south-east of Dinnet House (NO49NW0047). It is a well-detailed, little altered single-storey and attic, U-plan stable block with a lower garage conversion at the east wing. The block is built from large granite blocks with raised margins and some bull-faced cills, and there are crowstepped gables with finials or stacks, attic windows with piended dormer heads breaking the eaves, conical-roofed circular ridge ventilators, chamfered reveals, timber transoms and mullions, some boarded timber doors with plate glass fanlights, a four-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof with coped ashlar stacks, ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts, cast-iron square-section gutters and downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers. The courtyard elevation to the south-east has lower projecting outer wings, that to the south-west being M-gabled and that to the north-east with broad garage type doors on the return to the left.
