Description
The stable block at Kingston Hall, now converted into several houses, was built between 1842 and 1846 by Edward Blore for Edward Strutt, who later became Lord Belper. The structure is made of rock-face ashlar with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. It has a corbel table and ashlar coped gables with kneelers and single ridge finials, all set on an ashlar plinth. The building is a single storey plus attic and consists of seven bays. The central bay slightly projects and is topped with a cupola that has a corbel table and is composed of two stages, with the top stage featuring an arched opening.
The entrance is a double chamfered Tudor arch, with jambs that have a single chamfer. On either side of the entrance are three narrow fixed lights alternating with two buttresses. Above the entrance, the central bay includes two decorative arrow loops and a single clock face in the apex. Each side of this bay has a single gabled wood and slate roof dormer, each containing a single 20th-century casement window. To the further left, there is a small gabled opening for pigeons. This building is included in the listing for its group value only.
