Description

A heritage impact assessment was undertaken at the stable block of Hall Farm, South Reston, to inform designs and form part of future planning and listed building consent. The survey area comprises a single range of buildings likely dating to the mid 19th century. It is constructed of red brick, under hipped gabled roofs of pantile, except for the two storey central section, which is now unroofed. An area of modern infill connects the southern end of the range to the north elevation of the Hall (see MLI92919); this is a 2017 construction replacing an earlier mid 20th century structure. A door from this infill leads into the southernmost room of the stable range, a possible store or tack room. The double doors in the west elevation are a later 20th century replacement of a former window opening, dating to the change in use of this room to a car garage. North of this is a former stable or byre, with extant hayracks along the north wall. A two storey central section contains two horse stalls at ground floor level, which still retain most of the internal plastering, with a possible hayloft/store/accommodation above. This is accessed by a door in the north wall, leading to another single storey store room, though no ladder or stair to this door is evident. This room has a low brick partition towards the rear, possibly to create a feed trough, suggesting a change in use. Further north is a room of uncertain original use with presumed mid 20th century double doors in the west elevation. The northernmost room of the original phase of building is another possible stables, with a single doorway in the west elevation. A coach house extension was added to the north end of the range in the later 19th century. Pig sties appended to the north end of the east elevation are likely to have been built at the same time. These are in a ruinous state; their deteriorating condition since 2003 suggests that they felli out of use around this time. All three sties are now unroofed. The southern two sties appear to be a slightly later (though still pre-1887) addition to the range. {1}
