| Description | Barrowby Hall (PRN 3394) itself is Listed, and the stables lie within the curtilage of this building. The stables have an L shaped plan, and are built in English bond, polychrome brickwork in red, yellow and blue with stone dressings. They are likely to date c.1860s 1880s. The interior retains many original features and fittings, and the stalls contain a manger and hay rack. It also retains the original impervious floor surfaces. The stables are two storeys throughout and also provide accommodation for grooms/workers. At least two rooms on the ground floor and some on the first floor have fireplaces. There are king post roof trusses in the attic storey.
These stables are an attractive and well presented late 19th century stable block, which was adapted in the 20th century for use as a general purpose agriculture building. The stables have sheds – probably asbestos – to the rear, which corner one north side of the building.
In April 2008 a specification was prepared for a drawn and photographic survey of the stables. This survey was required to identify and document items of archaeological and architectural interest prior to the conversion of the stables into a golf club house. |
