Stables At Caythorpe Court

The stables at Caythorpe Court, built around 1900 by Sir R. Blomfield, are a stable block made of stucco with ashlar dressings. The building features two tall brick ridge stacks and a hipped stone slate roof. The main block consists of three bays and is a single storey with attics, flanked by seven single storey bays that have later 20th-century two-light casement windows. These wings end in small louvered cupolas with lead roofs and ball finials, from which two additional ranges of buildings extend at right angles. The stable court is enclosed on the fourth side by a wall that has a central opening flanked by piers topped with ball finials.

The main block has an advanced central entry bay with a hipped roof, featuring a wide segmental-headed doorway with an ashlar lintel and hood mould. On either side of the doorway are long six-light casement windows. Above the doorway is a three-light casement window, and on either side are single three-light casement dormers under tiled gabled roofs, which have decorative studding in the gables. At the top of the ridge, there is a timber cupola in a 17th-century style, with a glazed base that contains a clock, and it features a moulded cornice topped with a domed and pinnacled lead roof.
