Description
The stableblock and coach house, built in the early 19th century with minor 20th-century alterations, originally served Longford Hall and its owner, Thomas Coke. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, featuring brick and stone dressings, and has slate roofs. It has a U-shaped plan and is built on a stone plinth, with continuous stone bands defining the first floor and impost levels of doors and windows, topped by a plain stone eaves band.
The west-facing elevation, which is the principal facade, has a five-bay east elevation that projects forward and rises an additional storey with a dentil-detailed pediment. The central three bays contain two tiers of blind semi-circular headed arches, the lower tier having arches at half-storey level. A semi-circular headed doorcase with a plank door is flanked by matching casement windows on the ground floor. Above are three segment-headed windows. Single bays to either side of the central block have similar arches and windows. Above again, the centre three bays have semi-circular headed casement windows, with a clock face in a moulded stone surround at the apex of the pediment.
The north and south ranges each have five-bay elevations mirroring the west elevation, also featuring five semi-circular headed blind arches, the two easternmost bays being beneath pedimented gables. The south elevation of the north range has semi-circular headed ground-floor openings, comprising a window, door, window, door, and window, above which are five segment-headed casements. The south elevation is similarly designed, though the lower openings of the three western bays have been replaced with 20th-century sliding doors; a hoist platform has been inserted at first floor level to the east. The eastern walls have pedimented gables and a similar arrangement of openings within the blind arches.
Inside the west and north ranges, the ground floor features groin vaulted ceilings supported by Tuscan columns, between which are decorative wooden and ironwork partitions. Raised and fielded panelling adorns the doors between the stables.
