Stable Block And Attached Gates To East Of Petworth

The stable block, now serving as stables and four cottages, dates from the late 18th century and is possibly the work of Thomas Gardner of Uttoxeter. It is constructed of red brick with a Welsh slate roof and brick ridge stacks, featuring some stone dressings. The building is one and two storeys high and has a moulded stone eaves cornice. It has a triangular shape and a symmetrical eleven-bay south elevation.

The central bay is tall and pedimented, protruding above the flanking bays. The ground floor includes a broad segmental carriage arch with raised and fielded panelled doors, and above it, there is a lunette with a stone sill band. To the right, there are two segmental arched wooden cross windows with brick header arches, a segmental arched doorway, and a similar window on the ground floor. The first floor features two 2-light casement windows with segmental heads, a circular window, and another 2-light window. The five bays on the left create a mirror image of the right side.

Inside the courtyard, stables are arranged along one range, showcasing large segmental headed windows with small pane metal casements and original stable fittings. The other range contains coach houses with flat headed and segmental arched double doors, also featuring raised and fielded panelled doors. There are 20th-century walls attached at the southwest corner that are not of listable quality, along with mid-18th century wrought iron gates that have been relocated from another site.
