The present footprint and form of the building seems to date from the Victorian era but parts of its fabric appear to be older.
A traditional building retained within the general setting of St. Peter’s Church. Within the Old Town Conservation Area.
Rectangular building with a pitched half hipped clay tiled roof. Flint walls on north and east elevations, lower sections of which look older and may have been flint boundary walls originally. The south, main, elevation is red brick with decorative grey headers among the stretchers. Most door and window openings are retained from the original stable use, with brick arches. More modern window openings to left. There is a gabled hayloft type door to upper level above the central main entrance. The west elevation also red brick.
The building underwent a conversion and modernisation to a church based community use in the mid 1980s.
The justification for local listing is its history and contribution to the Old Town Conservation Area.
