Description

The stable block located approximately 50 metres east of Darrington Hall is a Grade II listed building, likely dating from the late 18th century, with some alterations. It is constructed from coursed squared magnesian limestone and features a stone slate roof. The building is a long rectangular structure oriented on an east-west axis, consisting of two storeys and nine bays. The first five bays serve as stables, while the remaining bays comprise the coach house, which includes a cottage at the right-hand end.

The stables have doorways with overlights that alternate with windows. The coach house features three segmental arched coach doorways, with the third doorway blocked and replaced by an archway doorway and a small window. All windows are 12-pane sashes with flat-arched heads. On the first floor, both sections have square windows, mostly 6-pane sashes, except in the stables where the second bay has a small loading door, and the windows have wooden grilles in the lower leaf. The gable copings have kneelers, and there is a ridge chimney located between the eighth and ninth bays.

Inside, the stables retain their original iron stalls and related fittings and are still in use.
