Description
The stables and cottage at Clipsham Hall, along with Hall Stable Cottage, were built in 1882 by A. Young for the Davenport Handley family. They are constructed from coursed squared stone with stone dressings and feature a Collyweston slate roof, characterized by shouldered stone coped gables, finials at the shoulders and apex, and various stone ridge stacks.
This extensive range of stabling is designed in the Jacobean style and is arranged around a quadrangle. The cottage is located in one corner, with Hall Stable Cottage positioned to the right of the entrance. There is an additional range of stabling behind the left-hand block. The entrance drive leads into the quadrangle on the right side, passing Hall Stable Cottage on the right. Straight ahead, in the far block, is a tower that forms an arched way over the drive to the Hall. Adjacent to this tower is another cottage.
The buildings are predominantly 1½ storeys high and feature stone mullion windows. The near block facing the quadrangle has three carriage doorways with segmental arches, hood moulds, and label stops, along with an additional door. A covered bridge on the first floor connects to the left block, which has two gables, a four-light window on the left, and a rounded archway on the right, along with doors, windows, and two square lanterns on the roof ridge.
The far block contains three doorways surrounded by windows, and to the right is the tower featuring a clock face and an octagonal turret with an ogee lead roof. There is a door at the angle with the right block, which has three dormers on the left, gables in the center and right with first-floor doors, and doors and two-light windows below. The exterior walls are adorned with buttresses, windows, and dormers. Hall Stable Cottage has a canted bay on the front gable, a porch, a door with a dormer above, and a four-light window with a three-light window above on the left side. Additionally, there is a further one-storey range behind the left block, which includes an octagonal two-storey dovecote with a lantern top in the left corner, and another lantern on the roof to the right.
