Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Name of Property
Stable Range to W side of Stable Courtyard at Creselly House
Unitary Authority
Pembrokeshire
Location
The stable courtyard is immediately to the S of Cresselly House. This range is on its W side, opposite the coach-house and another stable range.
History
Possibly contemporary with the mid-C19 enlargements of the house; appears later than the range opposite which has its origins with the original house. Cresselly House was built by the Allen family c.1770.
Exterior
Two-storey rubble service range with 3+2 window cement-rendered front, slate roof and red-brick chimney stacks; 9-pane sash windows to first floor and 12-pane below. The tack-room occupies the two bays to right hand end including the tall segmental-arched recess containing a boarded door flanked by small windows; the shape of the arch may be intended to reflect the carriage arch on the coach-house directly opposite. Although internally the stables continue to the left, externally the adjoining three-bay frontage appears convincingly as a three window late Georgian cottage with central boarded door and chimney stacks; the first floor is indeed domestic accommodation for staff and is known as the Stable Flat. Access is from the rear via outside stairs; rear elevation has casement windows over single-storey lean-to. Stepped down to south are single storey ranges, one with sliding boarded doors and that to the end serving as stalling for calves. Single-storey cross-range to the rear.
Interior
Internally the tack-room and stables retain their original character with boarded walls, panelled doors and spacious stalling for the Cresselly horses.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with Cresselly House and associated listed items.
