Stables And Coachhouse, With Wall And Mounting-Block Attached

The stables and coach house, now partly converted into a restaurant, were likely built in the third quarter of the 18th century by J. Carr. The building features colourwashed render with painted ashlar dressings and a plinth, topped with a roof of graduated Lakeland slates and ashlar chimneys. It includes a rubble wall and consists of a two-storey, five-bay coach house, two-storey, two-bay pavilions, and one-storey, eight-bay stables, totaling 17 bays.

The coach house has five high entrances arranged in an arcade with an impost band and voussoirs. It features boarded double doors beneath semicircular ventilation panels, a first-floor band, and five square windows above with projecting stone sills, plain stone surrounds, and arch-headed glazing bars. The pavilions have a similar design, with large, partly slatted and partly glazed ground-floor windows instead of arcades. The one-storey ranges have partly-glazed openings and six- and nine-panel doors with four-pane overlights, set in architraves with bracketed cornices in the second bay from each end. The eaves band is continuous with the first-floor band of the pavilions and coach house. The roofs are hipped over the two-storey blocks, with banded ashlar chimneys rising from the side eaves. Each return of the pavilions has a door beneath a bracketed hood and partly-cantilevered L-plan steps, featuring a simple wrought-iron balustrade leading to six-panel first-floor doors in plain stone surrounds.

Inside the right one-storey stable block, there are ramped stall partitions with hay racks positioned over mangers in the rear arcade. A rubble wall with round coping curves from the right return to the Riding School. To the left of the central block, there is a two-stepped mounting block made of colourwashed stone.
