Papplewick Lodge And Adjoining Stables

Papplewick Lodge and its adjoining stables are a house and stable range dating to the early and mid-18th century, with alterations and additions in the 19th century. The house is constructed of dressed stone with gabled and hipped slate and plain tile roofs. It features single gables and three ridge and two rear wall stacks, with rusticated quoins. The house is two storeys high and has a double-depth, L-plan layout, spanning four bays. It incorporates glazing bar sashes and casement windows. The south front displays a set-back bay to the left, and an extruded two-storey corner to the right, along with a hipped wing. Ground-floor windows include three casements with keystoned lintels to the left and a single casement to the right. A canted two-storey bay window with three sashes on each floor is located further to the right. Above, the left side features two keystoned casements, while the right side has a Gothick casement. The east side has an off-centre hipped porch and adjoining coped boundary wall. It includes a 20th-century casement, a porch with a casement, and a canted two-storey bay window with three sashes on each floor, mirroring the design of the southern elevation. Above this window is a small oriel and a sash window. A boundary wall contains a round-headed porch door with a fanlight and a gateway with a keystoned segmental head, stepped gable, and a late 18th-century iron gate. The north side has a doorcase with a fanlight flanked by single canted two-storey bay windows, each with a French window flanked by casements. Above the bay windows are three sashes, with a single sash between them. A set-back bay with sashes on each floor is located to the right. The return angle has a French window and a sash above it. The adjoining stable range is arranged in an L-plan configuration with six bays and irregular 20th-century fenestration. At the east side is a central, flat-roofed 20th-century addition with two garage doors. Early 18th-century details are present, including a gable with a casement. The south gable features a 20th-century door and casement, and above it, a casement.
