Stables At Holywell Hall

The stables at Holywell Hall, dating from around 1732 and now used as offices, feature squared limestone rubble with rusticated ashlar quoins and dressings. The building has a hipped Collyweston roof and consists of parallel ranges, standing as a single storey with attics. The front has seven bays with a plinth and an advanced, pedimented central bay that includes an impost band and moulded cornice.

The central double doors are topped with a plain fanlight and set within a semi-circular headed opening that has a flush rusticated surround and stepped keyblock. Above this, in the pediment, is a Diocletian window. Flanking the central bay are pairs of semi-circular headed windows and a single Diocletian window, all featuring plain ashlar surrounds and raised keystones.

The roof includes two pairs of two-light glazing bar casement dormers with curved lead roofs and cheeks. At the center of the ridge is an octagonal cupola on a square base, supported by Doric columns and semi-circular arches. This cupola has a moulded cornice and a ball finial with a weather vane, along with a clock face on the front.

At the rear, there are glazed double doors with a fanlight, set in a semi-circular headed ashlar surround with key and impost blocks. Above the doorway is a scrolled wrought iron lantern bracket. The interior features a staggered butt purlin softwood roof.
