Description

The Stables to Leadenham House is a stable block built in 1833 by E J Wilson. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and ashlar, topped with slate roofs. The building features an ashlar plinth, quoins, and plain bands, and has a quadrangular plan with a gate and walls on the west side.

The west front includes a central slightly projecting ashlar gateway that has a large moulded round arched opening and a plain impost band, with wood and iron gates topped by a plain cornice and parapet. On either side, there are lower three-bay walls with blank lower sections, above which is a plain band followed by three moulded round arched blind openings. The slightly projecting pavilions at each end also have blank lower walls, corner pilaster strips, a band, and three moulded round arched blind openings, topped with single Diocletian windows each featuring an open pediment.

Inside the courtyard, the eastern range has four segmental carriage arches with double plane doors, and above is a single central round-headed opening surmounted by an open pediment. The north and south ranges contain central arched doorways with three windows on either side, and above is a central round-headed opening also surmounted by an open pediment. Notably, the south range has a 20th-century garage doorway integrated into it.
