Description
This is a stable block dating to circa 1770, likely designed by John Carr for Sir James Pennyman. Later, in the mid-19th century, a porch was added, alongside extensions to the south-east range. The building is constructed of chevron-tooled dressed sandstone, with Lakeland slate roofs, and is arranged around a courtyard.
The entrance front, located in the south-west range, is two storeys high with nine bays, featuring a slightly projecting three-bay pedimented centre. A round-headed passage opening, ornamented with an archivolt, contains double gates made of wood, part-panelled and part-barred. The ground floor windows are in round-headed openings with archivolts, plain impost bands, and sills; those in the second and eighth bays are blind. Square-headed windows on the first floor have plain sills and architraves. All windows are sash windows with renewed glazing bars on the ground floor. A modillion eaves cornice runs along the top. The low-pitched hipped roof includes a central, short tower, displaying clock faces on all sides, with Tuscan angle colonnettes and a nowy cornice. A Tuscan cupola features a partly-fluted, ogee saucer dome, surmounted by a ball finial and weather vane, and contains a bell. The returns have similar blind openings with blocked windows on the ground floor, and sash windows in architraves above.
The seven-bay courtyard front displays four blind lunettes above an impost band, flanking the entrance. The other courtyard ranges contain a stable flanked by tack rooms in the north-west range; one stable was altered to a coach house in the mid-to-late 19th century, and a tack room has been converted into a cottage with a lean-to porch. The central range comprises a five-bay coach house with a slightly projecting three-bay centre, also featuring a round-headed passage opening with similar gates, alongside doorways with six-panel double doors and panelled tympana. The rear elevation mirrors the front. Lean-to extensions extend from the south-east range.
The yard is cobbled and surfaced with scoria blocks. A pointed, tunnel-vaulted passage runs through the south-west range, with doorways in architraves under cornices. A tunnel-vaulted passage, rendered and scored to imitate ashlar, extends through the north-east range. The main range has king-post roof trusses and butt purlins, while the south-east range presents a five-bay round-headed blind arcade with wood architraves and moulded imposts, accommodating hay racks.
