Description
The stable block and gatehouses to the east of Ravensworth Castle were built around 1840 and are designed in the Gothick style. Constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, the roof is made of graduated Westmorland slate.
The eastern gatehouse features a spiked and studded double gate within a buttressed double chamfered four-centred arch, flanked by three-storey octagonal towers. These towers have lancet windows on the ground and first floors. Above the gate, there is later infill that includes a three-light stone window with transoms and mullions, topped with a label mould. The gatehouse is crowned with a crenellated parapet supported by corbels, and the square towers set back have pyramidal roofs made of Westmorland slate.
On the west elevation, there is a four-light stone window with mullions and transoms, along with a corbelled parapet above the arch. An octagonal clock tower rises over the western arch entrance to the stable block. The stable ranges that surround the courtyard feature stone mullioned and transomed windows, coped buttresses, and Tudor arches, with some original doors and stable fittings still intact. The western range includes a square tower with pointed arches in the upper stages and coped crenellated parapets at the north-west corner.
