Cantley Hall Stables

Cantley Hall Stables is an early 19th-century stable block built for the Cantley Hall estate. It features cement-rendered brick construction with graduated slate and sheet asbestos roofs. The building has a U-shaped plan, with a two-storey, one-bay centre connected by one-storey, two-bay links to two-storey, five-bay stable blocks, each having a one-storey wing that projects forward.

The centre section includes a plinth, a segmentally-arched carriage entrance, and a first-floor band beneath later casements that have a projecting stone sill and cambered arch. The hipped roof has dentilled eaves, an apex finial, and a weathervane. Each one-storey link has a six-panelled door next to an unequally-hung 20-pane sash window with a projecting sill and cambered arch.

On the left stable block, there is a central six-panelled door beneath a round arch, flanked by 20-pane sashes. The outer bays have round-arched doorways, with the one on the right being blocked. The first floor features projecting sills and cambered arches for later casements, with the central sill lowered and dentilled eaves on the hipped roof.

The right stable block has an inserted central garage door and a later canopy added on the right, but is otherwise similar to the left stable, with unaltered 12-pane casements on the first floor. The attached wing on the right has three segmentally-arched garage doors and a blocked doorway on the right, topped with a hipped roof. The left attached wing features unequally-hung 20-pane sashes in bays one and three, a six-panel door with a four-pane overlight in bay two, a similar blocked doorway in bay four, and a round arch on the right with two doorways within.

At the rear, there are blind openings that follow the rhythm of the front, with a six-pane sash window above the arch. Inside, the stables contain horse boxes with wooden partitions topped by iron railings.
