Stable Yard And Coach House To Haverholme Priory

The stable yard and coach house at Haverholme Priory were constructed in 1839, designed by H. E. Kendall, and subsequently altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed primarily of yellow and some red Ewerby brick, with partial limestone ashlar facing, and has slate roofs with raised stone copings, kneelers, and four pairs of diamond-set square yellow brick shafts topped with moulded ashlar.

It is arranged around an open-sided courtyard. The main front has a wide entrance flanked by walls with facetted ashlar copings, and one remaining square gate pier with a pyramidal top. To either side are two-storey gables with moulded plinths; the left-hand wall features a blank shield-shaped panel with a two-light window above, while the right-hand side has a three-light mullioned and transomed window and a two-light window on the first floor. All windows have chamfered surrounds with moulded heads and label stops. Rectangular panels bearing the date 1839 are set into the gables.

The side ranges have single-storey-plus-attic, seven-bay fronts with corbelled eaves courses. The front elevations contain half-glazed planked doors, a single and a three-light cast iron latticed mullioned and transomed casement window respectively. Further openings include broad Tudor arched blank panels containing six-panelled doors with plain fanlights and a fixed four-light window. Dormer windows with ashlar kneelers, brackets, copings with diamond-set finials, and single cast iron lattice casements are integrated into the roof. One gable features a blank ashlar shield. One side matches the others, but it includes a larger open Tudor archway.

The rear wall of the courtyard is now covered by a 20th-century lean-to, but retains a central double chamfered Tudor arched entrance opening flanked by pairs of smaller arches leading to carriage bays. Within these bays is a nine-panelled door on the left side. The external sides feature small glazing bar sashes with plain lintels and mullioned windows with ashlar surrounds. Central gabled dormers matching those on the inner sides are present.

The entrance front is brick built and includes a central broad, slightly advanced Tudor arched ashlar gateway with a double chamfered hood mould and a two-light casement window above. Single gables flank the gateway, each with pairs of two-light latticed casements on the ground floor and similar windows on the first floor.
