Coach House And Stables Approximately 150 Metres South Of Elsham Hall

This is a mid-19th century stable and wing complex built for T G Corbett, located approximately 150 metres south of Elsham Hall. Constructed from red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, it features limestone ashlar dressings and a pantile roof, with a wooden lantern at its centre topped with a lead roof. The building is rectangular in plan and forms part of a farmyard.

It is arranged over two storeys, with nine bays in a 1:3:1:3:1 configuration, incorporating single-bay pavilions in the centre and wings, linked by lower, recessed two-storey sections. Wing walls flank the sides. The stable has a plinth. The central and wing entrances are arched, with rubbed brick surrounds, raised ashlar keystones, impost bands, and recessed doors with fielded panels. Ground-floor recessed bays accommodate three openings each, with rubbed brick flat arches and raised ashlar keystones, now containing casements with iron bars. The first floor has keyed oculi in the centre and wings, with a clockface in the centre and windows with radial glazing bars in the wings; recessed bays have small Gothick ogee-arched carved ashlar ventilators. Two larger, similar ventilators are positioned above an inserted square wooden hatch. A moulded ashlar cornice runs along the top, with pedimented gables to the centre and wings.

The central lantern is square, with a plinth, angle pilasters, Gothick ogee-arched ventilators on each face, a plain entablature with a moulded cornice, and a pyramidal roof topped with a tall ball finial and weathervane. The wing walls, with an ashlar plinth and coping, ramp down at the ends with ball finials (the right wing wall was shortened in the 20th century). The returns of the stables have first-floor round-headed doorways flanked by segmental-headed casements with rubbed brick arches and ashlar keystones.

The interior entrance hall features a round-arched door with flanking narrower round arches and three round-arched openings, topped by a moulded cornice. A six-bay arcade screen separates the hall from the former stalls, supported by tapered columns with round arches and keyed archivolts. Windows are contained within round-headed surrounds. A first-floor room in the left wing, partly derelict at the time of resurvey, features ornate plasterwork panelling, an overmantel, and fragmentary cornice, alongside a finely constructed collar and tie-beam roof with king-post and angle struts in the side bays. The ground floor was in use as a shop and gallery, while part of the first floor served as a dwelling.
