Dentilated brick eaves. 3 ranges of cattle stalls with hay lofts above, symmetrically
arranged around a crewyard. The north east outer facade has 2 prominent gabled cross
wings projecting slightly from the main 1 1/2 storey range that has an off-centre doorway
with plank door. Above are 2 large circular pitching eyes. Beyond these are the
cross wings each with a large segmental arched opening with large double plank doors
with ashlar hinge blocks, above are sets of 3 round headed recessed lancets, the
central one taller. Either side of these wings the main range continues with a single
circular pitching eye. Beyond again and slightly recessed are single storey ranges
which link to the side ranges with gabled fronts containing a pair of segment headed
cart openings. The inner courtyard facade repeats the same elevation on the main
range though with regularly spaced stable doors with segment heads on the ground floor,

of-arms of the Haberdashers Company and the date 1831. The single storey side wings
