Laundry And Stables At Allerton Tower

The laundry and stables at Allerton Tower are outbuildings constructed in 1847 by H.L. Elmes. They are built of brick with stone dressings and feature a slate roof. The buildings are arranged in an H-plan and stand two storeys tall. The left wing, which was originally a coach house, has since been removed. A ground floor lintel band runs along the front, and there are sashed windows, some of which have been boarded up since 1984. The first floor includes lunettes. The central entrance is framed by a coved surround and has a roundel in the gable above, leading to the entrances for the stables and tack room. The right wing originally served as a dairy, laundry, and bake house, and the right return features a three-bay arcade. The rear facade includes wings that contain cow houses, with original stone partitions still visible.
