Engine House

The Engine House is a stable building that has been converted into an engine house. It dates from the 18th century, with 19th-century additions and alterations. The structure is built of red English garden wall bond brick, featuring stucco dressings, a slate roof, and a timber cupola topped with a lead roof. The building is two storeys high and has a square plan.

The ground floor has plain walls and 19th-century outshuts on all sides. On the western side, there is a basket arch. The north front features a first floor with rendered projecting quoins at the corners. There is a stuccoed band between the floors and at the level of the springing of a central, slightly recessed round-headed arch, which has ashlared voussoirs and a keystone. Below this arch is a two-light inserted window. Above, there is a keyed oval blind oculus in the arch tympanum. The roof is pyramidal with a central cupola that has a louvred lower body and an ogee-shaped octagonal dome topped with a weather vane. The west and south faces are similar but lack the lower two-light window. The east face features a blind Diocletian window at the centre, which does not have stuccoed voussoirs, but does have a keystone on the oval oculus.
