Stables And Coach House To Burton Agnes Hall

The stables and coach house to Burton Agnes Hall, now serving as a café, house, and shop, were built in 1859 for Henry Boynton. They are constructed from reddish-orange brick with ashlar dressings and feature a Welsh slate roof. The building is U-shaped in plan, with a prominent gabled, two-storey central section that projects forward and includes two first-floor windows. On either side are single-storey, three-bay ranges and additional single-storey, three-bay wings.

The structure has a plinth with chamfered ashlar copings, and the central break-forward and wings are accented with ashlar quoins. The main entrance features a now part-glazed, six-panel door with chamfered jambs and a moulded ashlar lintel. Flanking the entrance are three stepped-light mullion windows with casements; the center light has a rounded head, and all have chamfered ashlar sills and moulded lintels.

On the first floor, there is a continuous ashlar sill band, with round-arched, fixed-light windows that have a continuous moulded ashlar impost band, rising to form hoodmoulds with keystones. The gable includes a blind ashlar datestone, and there are carved kneelers with ornate mouldings and ball finials, along with moulded ashlar copings and a ball finial at the apex.

The ranges on either side mirror each other, featuring central entrances; the right side has a part-glazed, blocked six-panel door, while both sides have six-pane casements with chamfered sills and moulded lintels. The eaves are stepped. The south wing has two segmental-arched carriage entrances with chamfered jambs and quoined ashlar arches, leading to double board doors that are now part-glazed. There is also a board door with a moulded lintel. The north wing has two similar carriage entrances and an additional door with six-pane casement windows between, also with stepped eaves. The gable ends have moulded kneelers, moulded ashlar copings, and a ball finial at the apex.
