NT61SE 19 6556 1005.

(NT 6556 1005) Waterside (NAT)

OS 25"map, (1970).

Though altered, gutted, and now semi-ruinous, this old building was evidently once a dwelling-house, not a stable as latterly. Comprising a ground floor and garret, it is oblong in shape, measuring 37ft by 20ft over walls 2 3/4ft thick; but an outshot, long since removed, has been attached to each gable, the entrances to both outshots being traceable although now built up. On the SE side there is a central doorway, obviously enlarged by the raising of the lintel and the lowering of the threshold when the place became a stable. On either side of the entrance there is a small window, prepared for glazing in the upper part and for a shutter in the lower. These openings all have chamfered dressings of the late 17th century. The interior is now a single compartment. An enclosure on the NW was presumably the garden.
