Description
Cogshall Grange, with outbuildings, is a former stable block of Cogshall Hall, dating from around 1830. It is constructed of red-brown brick in Flemish bond and features a graded grey slate roof. The building has a plinth, a band at the first floor, and a moulded cornice with a plain stone parapet. It stands two storeys tall with seven windows. The central bay, which is slightly projecting, has a pediment and is topped with an octagonal cupola supported by seven Tuscan columns and one replaced octagonal wooden post. The central entry has a basket-arched shape and now contains a late 20th-century six-panelled oak door with sidelights. The windows are 12-pane recessed sashes with cambered gauged-brick arches and projecting stone cills.
The building appears to have originally provided accommodation for stable staff and has seen little external alteration. To the left, there is a former coach-house that projects slightly and features three basket-arched openings, with the central one located in a slightly projecting pedimented bay. Behind the house, a walled yard connects to a parallel stable block, which includes a basket-arched driftway with round-arched openings leading to haylofts, as well as five camber-arched stable doorways, four of which have divided doors. There are two stone-lined pitching eyes in the projecting left wing and four in the rear wing, along with three rows of staggered diamond-shaped vents in each wing. A high brick wall connects the rear of the house to the stable block on the left, while a lower wall provides an entrance to the yard on the right. The yard features a circular recessed watering pool. All gable ends of the blocks are pedimented. The stables were evidently designed as part of the overall layout for Cogshall Hall.
