Description

The building is a stable, now functioning as a school laundry, located to the north-west of Windlestone Hall. It was probably built in the early 19th century and features a rendered exterior with an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings. The roof is covered with graduated Lakeland slates, topped with a tiled ridge and ashlar chimneys. The structure is arranged in an L-plan, with an outbuilding and a short wall creating two additional sides of a courtyard that is accessed from the rear.

The front of the building faces the garden and is two storeys high with five bays. It has sash windows with fine glazing bars set in plain stone surrounds, which are topped with label moulds on the ground floor, except for the central bay. Above the ground floor, there are roundels in plain stone surrounds. The hipped roof features a central corniced ridge chimney and louvred ridge ventilators.

The right side of the building faces a wide lane leading to the service wing of Windlestone Hall and includes a door and a sash window under label moulds, with two roundels above. This side also has a long one-storey section that is mostly blank, except for an early 20th-century window, and features a hipped roof. The left return is two storeys high and designed in the same style as the main range, although it is partly obscured by vegetation and has a tall late 20th-century external chimney stack.

At the rear, the entrance is marked by a short wall that ends in a square rusticated pier with pyramidal coping. Similar rustication is used at the corner of the outbuilding on the opposite side of the entrance.
