Description

The coachhouse and stabling for Houghton Hall, dating from the mid-18th century and remodeled in the 19th century, is constructed of red brick with a pantiled roof. The coachhouse features a single bay and is two stories high with a gable entry. It has paired double-leaf doors that are boarded below and consist of eight panels above, each set under an elliptical brick arch. There is a six-pane tilting window beneath a segmental brick arch at the gable. The raised gable is adorned with tumbled-in brick and has mushroom-shaped finials at both the base and apex.

To the left is a stable with five bays, which includes four-panel doors for bays one, two, and five. There is a 20th-century double-leaf boarded door for bay three and a 16-pane sash window in bay four. All openings are set under cambered gauged-brick arches, and the raised gables feature tumbled-in brick with mushroom-shaped finials at the base of the right gable.

On the right side, there is another stable with four bays, featuring four-panel doors in bays two and three, each with tilting eight-pane overlights, and 16-pane sashes on both the right and left. The building has plain close verges. This structure is included for its group value, as Houghton Hall is also listed in the HBMC County Register of Gardens at Grade II.
