Description
The stable block, located approximately 20 metres to the north-east of Ruckley Grange, was built around 1904 by Sir Ernest George and Yates. It features a roughcast exterior with ashlar dressings and plain tile roofs, arranged in a rectangular courtyard plan. The building is designed in a free Neo-Elizabethan style, with one storey on the north and east sides and two storeys on the south and west sides. The gable ends are parapeted, and there are three roughcast stacks with cornices.
The south range consists of five bays, with a central entrance featuring a large unmoulded keyed round arch. Above this entrance is a gabled loft with a boarded door, and the roof sweeps down on brackets to the right. There is also a central cupola with a tile-hung base, a clock on the front, two-light belfry openings, and an ogee tile cap topped with a weathervane.
The tower is three storeys tall, with a bracketed cornice and a coped stepped battlemented parapet. It has a square plan that slightly tapers, with three slit openings on each face on the second floor, circular keyed openings on the first floor to the north and west, and a boarded loft door to the south. The ground floor features two-light leaded casements.
The courtyard entrance is marked by two ogee-capped gatepiers and two boarded gates with a ramped top rail. This stable block showcases many characteristics influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement.
