What is recorded here

Detached L-plan two-storey stable block having ten-bay east elevation and three-bay south-facing elevation, erected c.1850, to west of Kilbragh House. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystacks and dressed limestone eaves course. Coursed rubble limestone walls with dressed quoins and having roughly dressed voussoirs to all openings. Brick bellcote with cast-iron weather vane to south gable. Square opes to first floor having timber louvred fittings and three-over-three pane timber sliding sash windows and having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows, some barred, to ground floor. Timber battened doors, double-leaf to elliptical carriage arches and single to square-headed openings with paned overlights. Pump to south-east. Coursed rubble limestone boundary wall between avenue to front of building and lawn of house.
This is an unusually fine complex of stable buildings. The intactness of the building, its association with a medium-sized rural house, and its juxtaposition with other fine outbuildings, is rarely found now. A wide range of original features appears to be retained, such as slate roofs, timber louvres, sliding sash windows and battened doors. The setting is especially pleasing.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
