Farm Buildings And Garage North Of Horton Grange Farmhouse

The farm buildings and garage located north of Horton Grange Farmhouse were built in 1858 for Sir Matthew White Ridley. Originally serving as cart and coach sheds and stables, they are now used as a garage and repair shops. The structure is made of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins, topped with Welsh slate roofs featuring stone gable copings. The buildings consist of three parallel ranges, with a cart shed situated between the eastern pair. The garage has three wooden double doors, while the easternmost range contains the stables. There are also blocked elliptical-headed openings in the west wall of the western range. Some 20th-century alterations have been made to the openings. These buildings are included for their group value with the planned farm buildings and Horton Grange Farmhouse. Historical context notes that Kelly's directory for 1858 described the house and farm buildings of this model farm as the most complete and extensive in Northumberland.
