Bellcote and clock over carriage arch to south-east elevation. Pair of curved walls with ashlar copings having pair of central placed round towers to courtyard, set around a formal garden and water feature.
This imposing stable yard complex is of apparent architectural design and detailing. The substantial ranges are punctuated by square-headed openings, which are articulated by yellow brick and ashlar dressings. The rubble limestone and yellow brick create a colourful combination and add textural interest to the site. These stables form part of an interesting group of demesne related structures with Headfort House, outbuildings, gate lodges, bridge and demesne walls.
