Coach-House And Stable Range Approximately 150 Metres East Of Cowick Hall

A coach-house and stable range, dating to 1804, was likely designed by Joseph Bonomi for John Dawnay, 5th Viscount Downe and Baron of Cowick. Later alterations occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries, including stucco to the stable wings, and further changes and additions were made around 1985. A more recent 20th-century range connects the stable wings across the front of the yard. The coach-house is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone and limestone ashlar dressings, while the stable wings are stuccoed with ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with Welsh slate.

The building is designed in a Classical style. The main coach-house incorporates a 4-room central entrance-hall range, with a stable range to the rear and projecting stable wings that enclose a yard to the west. The west front of the coach-house features a tripartite central bay with a recessed panel containing a 6-panel door and a 6-pane overlight, set beneath a rubbed-brick cambered arch. Former carriage entrances are flanked on either side, now filled with windows. The ground floor openings have thin sandstone ashlar lintels, and a moulded first-floor sill string course. The central bay is distinguished by a 6-pane casement beneath a cambered arch in a recessed round-headed panel, with a small casement in a weatherboarded tympanum, flanked by ashlar pilasters supporting a broken pediment with acroteria, and a clock face within the tympanum. Side bays have matching sashes, an ashlar cornice, and a blocking course.

The interior facing courtyard of the stable wings displays plinths. Recessed inner bays have round-headed recessed panels with impost bands, a 9-pane casement below, and a semicircular window with glazing bars above, continuing the ashlar cornice from the coach-house. Outer bays have rectangular recessed panels with 12-pane casements. The west fronts of the stable wings feature recessed central panels with 6-pane casements in ashlar architraves, flanked by narrow single panels. The south side of the stable range has an angle pilaster and three 12-pane casements in ashlar architraves.

The interior of the coach-house includes a hall with a cantilevered ashlar staircase and a plain wrought-iron balustrade. There are round-headed doors leading to granary lofts, each with radial fanlights over fielded panels.
