Stable Range And Lodgings At Edmondthorpe Hall

This is a stable range and associated lodgings, dating to the 18th century and remodelled in 1868 by R. W. Johnson in a Tudor Revival style. The building is constructed of coursed and squared ironstone and limestone with ashlar dressings, and has Swithland slate roofs. It is arranged in an L-shape and has a south front featuring a slightly off-centre tower, divided into three stages. This tower has cogged eaves, a hipped roof, and the remains of a square wooden bell turret, incorporating a keystoned round-headed doorway and a two-light casement above. Further above is a round-headed casement with hood and impost band, and to the eaves, a round moulded clock opening. To the left of the tower are three Diocletian windows with glazing bar casements, followed by a close boarded door with a segmental head. To the right are two similar Diocletian windows and another door with a segmental head. Above are three cross-eaves dormers, each featuring a two-light casement, and two similar dormers to the right. All the casements have keystoned segmental heads, with a sliding sash window also featuring a keystoned lintel. A two-storey hipped wing extends from the right angle, with a doorway in the return angle and a two-light sliding sash with a keystoned lintel above it. The east side incorporates a carriage opening to the left, and a four-bay, single-storey stable with coped gables and a close boarded door. This is flanked to the left by a cross-mullioned casement and to the right by two similar casements. A lower single-storey tack room follows, with a three-light casement and a door. Beyond are the ruined remains of a similar building and a loose box, featuring a double opening in the return angle and a door on the west side. The west end has a central round-headed doorway with a keystone and fanlight, flanked to the left by two keystoned elliptical-headed carriage openings with double doors (those to the left partly glazed) and to the right by a keystoned Diocletian window. Above, a tall central loading door has keystoned round heads, flanked by cross-eaves dormers with two-light casements and keystoned segmental heads. The north side features six two-light casements with keystoned lintels.
