Description

The stable block, dating from around 1794 and extended and altered in 1824, is located to the north of Dissington Hall. It is constructed of ashlar with a Lakeland slate roof, while the left range is made of brick.

The stable block features a two-storey central block that forms an inner courtyard, with two single-storey ranges connecting to the service wings of the house and an outer courtyard that includes two additional ranges on the north side.

In the inner courtyard, the central block has three bays, with a round-headed carriage arch in the pedimented central bay. Above the arch is a Venetian window and a clock in the pediment, flanked by half-slatted windows. The left single-storey range is made of brick, while the right range is stone and includes boarded doors and 12-pane sash windows, as well as one tripartite window.

The outer courtyard's central block features irregular openings, including 16-pane sashes and Yorkshire sashes, along with two segmental arches that lead to boarded double doors. To the right, there is a single-storey, eight-bay range with two boarded doors and 12-pane sashes. At the rear, a two-storey carriage house has two segmental arches.
