Stone Centrepiece Of Former Stable Court To North Of Lambton Castle

The stone centrepiece of the former stable court to the north of Lambton Castle is a mid-19th century structure that features a castellated design on the west side of a quadrangular stable block. The front is made of tooled dressed sandstone, while the rear is constructed from painted brick. The roof is covered with Welsh slates at the front and graduated green slates at the rear, with brick chimney stacks.

This building stands two storeys tall and consists of three bays. It has a Tudor-arched carriage entrance, a first-floor string course, a carved Achievement of the Lambton Arms, and an embattled parapet supported by corbels. The structure is flanked by taller semi-octagonal towers that have staggered loops and carved animal heads beneath their projecting embattled parapets. The windows are 2-light mullioned types with hoodmoulds, featuring 8-pane sashes. There are corbelled-out gabled half dormers with identical 2-light windows in the end bays. The roof is adorned with chamfered coping on the gables and square footstones, with chimney stacks at each end.

The painted brick remainder of the quadrangle and the detached coach house in the yard are not considered of special interest.
