Description
The stable block, built in the early 19th century by John Dobson, is located to the north of Lilburn Tower. Constructed from dressed stone with local slate roofs, it forms three sides of a courtyard. The two-storey entrance block features five bays and a central entrance with a segmental arch. There are similar arches on the carriage houses to the left and right, and above these are two-light windows with hoodmoulds. The gabled roof has ridged coping and kneelers. A later addition is a large square castellated clock tower, which includes a clock stage and a recessed bell stage with Tudor-arched openings. Flanking the entrance are single-storey ranges, with the right side housing stables that have one segment-headed arch and three roof vents topped with spiked finials. Inside, the stable block features shaped stalls supported by cast iron columns with ball finials.
