East Wing, Coach House And West Wing, Aughton Court

The East Wing, Coach House, and West Wing of Aughton Court, formerly known as Aston Hall Stables, is a Grade II listed building located on Church Lane in Aston. Dated 'HV/1826', it was built for Harry Verelst of Aston Hall. The structure is made of coursed, squared, dressed red sandstone with Westmorland slate roofs and features a U-shaped courtyard plan, with a central coach house connected by screen walls to the stable wings on either side.

The Coach House is two storeys tall and consists of five bays, arranged as 1:3:1. It has a plinth and chamfered quoins. The recessed central bays feature ashlar piers supporting glazed, segmentally-arched carriage openings adorned with triple keystones, the central keystone displaying initials and the date. There is an architraved door in the first bay and a 20-pane sash window in the fifth bay. On the first floor, each bay has a short 10-pane sash window set in an architrave. The eaves cornice leads to a hipped roof. The rear side has channel-rusticated quoin strips and nine segmentally-arched recesses at the base of the wall beneath architraved window openings, with architraved doors at each end bay. The cornice features an ashlar blocking course and a central corniced stack flanked by scrolled brackets.

The East Wing, connected to the left of the Coach House by a corniced wall with a door and a glazed segmental arch, is also two storeys tall and has five bays. It features an ashlar plinth and chamfered quoins. The central panelled door is renewed and set in an architrave, flanked by renewed 20-pane sashes in architraves. Each bay on the upper floor has a short architraved 10-pane sash window. The eaves cornice leads to a hipped roof with a corniced ashlar stack above the second bay.

The West Wing mirrors the East Wing but has been extensively rebuilt on the right side, including the renewal of architraves in concrete and some quoins formed in flush brickwork. The stack has been removed. The link wall to the Coach House is similar to that on the left but lacks a door or glazing in the openings.
