Stables And Coach House To Rise Hall

The stables and coach house at Rise Hall, now serving as outbuildings, were built in the early 19th century with later additions and alterations, including a weather-vane dated 1880. They were likely designed by Robert Abraham for the Bethell family. The structure is made of pinkish-brown brick in Flemish bond, with red brick dressings and graduated Welsh slate roofs. It has an approximately square plan with a central yard that is now covered over.

The main front range is two storeys high and consists of seven bays, featuring a central pedimented breakforward. There is a central carriage entrance that reaches full height, with a round arch made of red gauged brick, now fitted with corrugated-iron doors and a blocked lunette that has an inserted five-pane window. The ground floor has twelve-pane sash windows, while the first floor features four-pane sashes, all with ashlar sills and set under flat arches of red gauged brick. The pediment displays a dentil cornice and moulding, along with a painted clock. A central wooden cupola topped with a weather-vane crowns the hipped roof. To the right of the entrance is an ashlar mounting block.

The rear range, which housed the former coach houses, is a single tall storey with a three-bay centre flanked by single-storey, single-bay ranges on either side. The centre features three round-arched openings that reach full height, adorned with red brick heads and wooden fielded panel fanlights, along with an ashlar impost band. The left range contains a boarded door with a boarded overlight set under a flat arch of red rubbed brick. The right range has a six-fielded-panel door with a divided overlight under a flat arch of red rubbed brick, as well as a twelve-pane sash window with an ashlar sill under a flat arch of red rubbed brick. The rear range also has a dentil cornice and a hipped roof, with a central side stack and hipped roofs at the ends of the ranges.
