Description
The stable block, built between 1810 and 1817 by Sir Charles Monck, is located approximately 30 yards north-east of Belsay Hall. This structure is designed in the Greek revival style and constructed from ashlar with a Lakeland slate roof. It features an open courtyard plan and consists of two storeys with an eleven-bay central section flanked by projecting one-bay wings.
The central block has a pedimented middle bay with pilasters, which is flanked by three elliptical carriage arches that contain four-leaf doors on both sides. The pilasters separate these arches from the outer bays, which include boarded doors and 15-pane casements on each floor. The projecting wings also have pediments and angle pilasters, with blocked tripartite windows. A moulded cornice runs along the top, and the gabled roof is adorned with corniced ridge stacks and a large central octagonal corniced clock tower, featuring a stone drum and dome, inspired by the Tower of the Winds in Athens.
