Description
The building is a former stables and coach house, likely including a gardener's bothy, constructed between 1835 and 1840 by John Clark for John Hives. It features ashlar and red brick walls with slate roofs.
The central entrance has a flat archway topped by a squat tower designed in an Egyptian style, characterized by battered walls, roll-moulded angles, a round-arched recess with a blank shield and clock, roll moulding, a deep coved cornice, and a flat roof.
On either side of the entrance are two single-storey wings that were originally two-storey. Each wing has a gabled end; the fronts include a round-arched window in a recess on the ground floor and a similar window (altered on the right) on the first floor, with a continuous string course above. The left wing facing the yard features two round-arched doorways with fanlights, three round-arched windows in pedimented dormers, and a five-flue stack resembling squat Ionic columns. The right wing has one doorway and three windows, one of which is blind, along with three flat-arched windows on the first floor.
The left return of the left wing includes a pedimented dormer, while the right return of the right wing is made of red brick in English bond with stone surrounds to the windows, facing into the former enclosed garden.
The wall surrounding the stable yard has a flat coping and wide monolithic pedestrian gateways on either side of the central entrance, which is flanked by battered monolithic piers with flat segmental-faced capstones.
This building was originally built as stables and a coach house for Gledhow Grove, which is now known as Weetwood Grove and Weetwood Grange.
