Description
The farm buildings to the west of St Bartholomew's Church at Elvaston Castle are mid-19th century structures that have been adapted for use as a riding school and farm museum. They were originally built for the Earl of Harrington. The buildings are constructed from red brick, with some stone rubble in the southern range, and feature hipped roofs covered in plain tiles with dentilled eaves. The layout is U-shaped, primarily single storey, but includes a small two-storey section at the southern end of the main range.
The short northern range has three segment-headed doorcases with stable doors on the north elevation. The east elevation of the main range features five wide segment-headed arches on the north side, most of which are now blocked and have stable doors inserted. There are also seven segment-headed windows with lapped glass on the south side, along with three similar doorcases that have plank doors. To the south, there is a two-storey section with a segment-headed door on the north side and a large flat-headed arch on the south side, which has a segment-headed window above it.
Attached to the west side is a four-bay range of cowsheds, which has a stone rubble rear wall and four brick piers at the front. The two western bays are now filled in with glazed screens. These buildings are included for their group value.
