Description
The stable block at Oulton Park, built around 1820 by Lewis Wyatt, is a Grade II listed structure. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick and features a slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two storeys high.
The courtyard front consists of nine bays with a stone plinth. The three central bays project slightly and are topped with a shallow pedimental gable. There is a central doorway with a door made of six raised and fielded panels, which has a rectangular light above it. To the left of the door is a window with six panes by six panes, while a similar window to the right has been blocked and now contains a 20th-century two-light casement window. The first floor has three windows, each with five panes by three panes. A circular clock face is set into the gable, accompanied by a 19th-century saddle-backed timber bellcote.
To the left of the central bays, there are three additional bays featuring a central six-panel door with a rectangular light above, flanked by sash windows on either side, each with six panes by six panes, complete with stone sills and rubbed brick wedge-shaped heads. The first floor mirrors the window arrangement on the ground floor.
The bays on the right were originally similar, but the left-hand ground floor window is now partially blocked and contains a 20th-century two-light casement window, and the central doorway is also partially blocked and treated similarly. The first floor windows on this side are similar to those on the left. To the right, there is a wing with five bays, featuring doors at the centre and right of the ground floor, with ground floor windows of six panes by six panes and first floor windows of five panes by three panes.
