Beechley Stables

Beechley Stables is a coach-house and stable block that includes a coachman's cottage, now used as stables and an office. It was built between 1836 and 1846 and underwent slight alterations and restoration around 1980. The structure is made of red brick with yellow-faced headers in Flemish bond, featuring sandstone dressings and a concrete tile roof that replaced the original stone slate.

The building has an irregular F-shaped plan, consisting of a rectangular main range with a coach-house, flanked by a short wing on the left and another wing coupled with the cottage on the right. It is two storeys high, with a window arrangement of 2:1:3:2 on the first floor. The central three-window section has a shallow gable and features a wide segmental-arched wagon doorway with wooden double doors. This doorway is flanked by tall doorways that have four-pane overlights and large rectangular lintels; the left leads to the loose boxes and the right to the stable. Each of these doorways has an oblong loading door above, with the left featuring a pierced wooden shutter and the right now glazed, both supported by wedge lintels.

Each wing has a square-headed doorway at the re-entrant. The left wing's gable includes a ground floor sashed window protected by iron bars and a first-floor loading doorway with a wooden hoist jib above. The right wing and cottage have three sashed windows on the ground floor and two above, with the left window being very shallow and the right one having a gable over it. The range to the left of the left wing features a garage door at the left end, three sashed windows on the ground floor, and two small loading doorways above.

Inside, the left range contains a set of four loose boxes supported by cast-iron columns, with diamond-latticed cast-iron walls and sliding doors, as well as a wall ladder leading to the loft.

Beechley Stables forms a group with the associated house, Beechley, and is included for its group value.
