Description
The stable block at Kenwick Hall, built around 1892, is a single-storey and attic structure made of red brick with brick and limestone ashlar dressings. It features a hipped plain tile roof with four large and two small ridge stacks. The building is arranged in a U-shape, with a brick wall along the fourth side.
The east range consists of five bays, highlighted by a central doorway that has double panelled doors set within a moulded ashlar surround. This doorway is adorned with a decorated keystone, an upper pulvinated frieze, an eared architrave, an overlight, and a segmental pediment. Flanking the doorway are brick pilasters with moulded ashlar bases, single rusticated blocks, and Ionic capitals that support a brick pediment. On either side of the doorway, there are two cross mullion casements with slightly projecting brick eared surrounds. Above, four hipped dormers contain two-light casements.
A central cupola features a square boarded base with a clock, an octagonal lantern with round openings, imposts, raised keystones, and an ogee-shaped lead roof topped with a weather-vane. The south front includes a carriage house with a large moulded ashlar archway that has a segmental head and double plank doors, along with a single cross mullion casement to the right and two two-light dormers above.
The north front has six bays, with steps leading up to a doorway on the right that has a moulded ashlar surround, an overlight, and a panelled door. To the left is a two-light cross mullioned window, followed by two single-light windows with transoms. Another doorway with a similar surround and an added keystone is present, along with a single-light window with a transom beyond it and a single dormer above to the right. There is a loft opening to the left, which has partially blocked plank doors now containing a two-light casement and an iron pulley above.
The walling to the south features moulded ashlar coping that ramps up to square gate piers with moulded ashlar bases and caps, topped with ball finials. Small inverted ashlar brackets are present on the pilasters on the inner sides of the piers. Kenwick Hall itself is not included in this listing.
