Stable Block

The stable block at Grimsthorpe Park is a late 17th-century structure that has been converted into two flats and garages. It may have been altered by Sir John Vanbrugh and was remodeled in 1959 by R. J. Page. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a hipped Collyweston roof with lead dressings, along with two ashlar ridge stacks that have moulded tops.

It has two storeys and a nine-bay front arranged in a 3:3:3 pattern, with the middle three bays recessed. There is a first-floor band and a plain parapet. The central entrance features a rusticated basket carriage arch with stepped keyblocks and panelled doors, flanked by single side panelled doorways that have plain ashlar surrounds and keyblocks. Beyond these are single panelled doors with plain overlights, which have eared architraves with stepped keyblocks, and are flanked by single glazing bar sashes.

On the first floor, there are two keyed blank oculi, with additional single plain oculi beyond, which are also flanked by glazing bar sashes. At the center of the parapet, a scrolled cartouche displays the date of 1959 and the Ancaster cypher, topped with a coronet. This building is likely part of the works commissioned by the Second Earl of Lindsey following the Restoration in 1660.
