Summary
This two storey building is a mixture of rubble Purbeck stone and brick; the prominent facade of the south elevation, including the east and west walls of the garage block, being clad in random Purbeck stone slabs. It is significant that the east wall is thicker, and of true coursed rubble limestone; this section may be a remnant of the earlier range of buildings on this site.

Description
This two storey building is a mixture of rubble Purbeck stone and brick; the prominent façade of the south elevation, including the east and west walls of the garage block, being clad in random Purbeck stone slabs. These are rough cut, and give a 'crazy paving' effect. The joints have 'snail creep' pointing, with ridged centre. Stone clad elevations have smooth- dressed ashlar quoins at openings and doors.
It is significant that the east wall is thicker, and of true coursed rubble limestone; this section may be a remnant of the earlier range of buildings on this site. This may also be true of the rubble north wall.
The stable section has a pitched roof, with gable at north end. Transverse, higher pitched roof over garage section, with quarter hips. Hipped dormer to south pitch.
All slate clad with hogsback stone ridge tiles. All valeys have lead flashing. The common rafters are exposed at eaves; ends of these carry the cast iron gutters.
All the door and window frames are of a uniform design, employing cast iron frames with chamfered edges to outside.
Adverse preservation conditions:
Exterior:
Pointing of walls and some stone cladding is suffering from frost damage and spalling off.
On the east elevation, settlement cracks either side of F1 flue.
D1- bottom of planks badly rotted, crude repair.
D13- left hand door of pair is rotten at base.
D17- this inserted opening has unfinished brickwork jambs, and should be squared off. A door is required.
W1- cast iron ledge broken.
Interior:
Garage- rotted western ends to joists over W1, due to water ingress at D13 above.
Store/ stable/ tack room- evidence of dry rot.
Attics 2 & 3- some of the floorboards rotted through. Crack in south-east corner, also visible externally.
D15- hinges need straightening.
D16- damp and rotted at base.
