Stable Block And Barn To Home Farm

The Stable Block and Barn to Home Farm is a late 18th-century stable block located in Tatton Park. It is constructed of red English garden wall bond brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. The building is L-shaped and has two storeys.

The west front consists of five bays arranged in a 2.1.2 rhythm, with the central bay projecting slightly. This bay has a stone base and hinge dressings, featuring a central through arch with a segmental recessed arch and a moulded brick relieving arch above. Moulded bricks create quoin patterns on the sides of this bay, rising to an entablature also made of moulded brick. Above, there is a basket arch with a recessed tympanum that contains a porthole window, and a moulded brick cornice at the gable. At the ridge, there is a 19th-century octagonal wooden dovecote with a lead roof and weathercock.

On either side of the central bay, there are two bays with replaced 19th-century ovolo moulded mullion windows on the ground floor and round pitch holes on the upper floor, all with stone surrounds. Additionally, there are rectangular air holes. To the right of the central bay, there is a 19th-century addition with a segment-headed driftway and one bay further right that has a small porthole window on both the ground and first floors. The ground floor features a segment-headed doorway and another porthole window under an arch.

The barn abuts the stable block to the south, with its south front also comprising five bays arranged in an ABABA pattern. This front has stone-surrounded pitch holes on the first floor, and bay B features double threshing-floor doors with stone hinge dressings and segmental heads. There are rectangular breathers, and 19th-century windows with segmental heads inserted at ground floor level. The north front lacks first-floor pitch holes and instead has double doors that correspond in position and appearance to those on the south front.
