Description

The stable block at Wolfreton House, built in the late 18th century, is constructed of white brick with stone dressings and features a graduated slate roof. The main range is two storeys high and has a six-window front, with the central bay projecting forward beneath a low pediment. On either side, there are lower single-bay wings with lean-to roofs. The building has a plinth.

In the central bays, there is a blocked door beneath a wedge lintel, topped by an oculus with crossed glazing bars. To the right and left of this, there are glazed and panelled doors with overlights featuring vertical glazing bars, all set under cambered wedge lintels. The ends of the building have six-pane sash windows with sills under cambered wedge lintels. On the first floor, there are two oculi with crossed glazing bars in the central bays, and to the right and left, there are two six-pane sashes with sills under cambered wedge lintels.

The pediment is adorned with stone copings and kneelers. The roof is hipped and features a cupola with round-headed lights and wooden Y-tracery, supported by attached Tuscan colonettes that lead to a cornice. The cupola is topped with a lead dome, a ball finial, and a weather-vane. The right wing contains a six-pane sash window with a sill under a flat lintel, while the left wing has double-leaf boarded doors leading to a carriage entrance, which is topped by a fanlight with vertical glazing bars and a segmental brick arch.
