Description
The stable block, now used as a bar and garage, was built in 1904 by F.W. Rich for Howard Pease. It is constructed from dressed stone and features a graduated Lakeland slate roof, showcasing the Arts and Crafts style. The building has an L-plan layout, with a wall and gatepiers that form the south side of the courtyard.
The north range of the stable block is two storeys high and consists of three bays. It includes a boarded door, a diamond-pane casement window, and a cross window. Above, there is a pitching door in a gabled half dormer, with a three-light dormer window featuring a segmental pediment to the right, and a gabled dormer with bargeboards to the left. The gabled roof is topped with tall corniced ridge stacks and a battered lead ventilator with wooden louvres.
To the right, the coach house projects and has a large sliding door along with a canted corner that features a boarded door. It is topped with a hipped roof.
On the south side, there is a wall approximately 10 feet high, which is interrupted by corniced rusticated gatepiers that have ball finials. A porch in front of the north range is noted but is not of special interest.
