Description
The former stable building, located approximately 30 metres north of Bostock Hall, dates from around 1755 and features 19th-century additions and alterations. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings and has a tiled roof. The building is single and one-and-a-half storeys high.
The entrance front is symmetrical with seven bays, where the central three bays project and are one-and-a-half storeys tall. The corners and sides of the central archway are accented with stone quoins. This archway rises through both storeys and features a Diocletian window within a round-headed arch, which is adorned with voussoirs and a prominent keystone that connects to the pedimented gable. Flanking the archway are sash windows with three panes by three panes, each set on stone sills and topped with wedge lintels. A stone band runs along the level of the arch's springing, above which are porthole windows with moulded and painted stone surrounds. The gable is highlighted by a circular clock face and topped with a late 19th-century octagonal spire that has louvres at its base, gablets above, and a weather vane at the summit. Stone mounting blocks are positioned to the left and right of the central arch.
On either side of the main structure are single-storey blocks featuring two cambered-headed archways with stone quoins and voussoirs. These archways now contain brick walling in their lower parts, with inserted casement windows above. The hipped roofs of these blocks are crowned with small octagonal spires at the apexes.
The rear of the building features a central arch with a slightly projecting 19th-century porch that has a lean-to roof. Above this is a Diocletian window, framed by brick voussoirs that cut across a string course. The gable above also contains a circular clock face. Flanking the central arch are turrets with square bases that transition to an octagonal body via splay feet. The lower windows consist of three panes by four panes, with inset porthole windows above that have moulded stone surrounds. The single-storey wings on either side have three bays, with central windows of three panes by four panes and casement windows on either side with three lights.
