The Grade II Listed Stable House of the now demolished Middleton Hall; whose grounds now contain the National Botanic Garden of Wales, in the River Tywi Valley, Carmarthenshire, Wales
Middleton Hall stables were built to the design of S P Cockerell, the architect of the Hall. The Hall was completed in 1795 and the stables are probably contemporary.
The service yard of the Hall and the stables were planned on one axis so that it was said to be possible to see from the Hall to the foaling yard behind the stables. A second rear stable building parallel to the original stables was added by 1853 on the same axis, with a little extension dated 1870.
Middleton Hall was ruined by fire in 1931 and demolished in 1951. The stables are much restored and are currently in use as administrative offices for the National Botanic Garden.
