Description

The former stable block and coach house, located approximately 40 metres to the east of Shooter's Hill, dates from around 1830. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped slate roof. The building stands two storeys high and includes an eaves band and a dentil eaves cornice.

On the stable block side, there is a central octagonal wooden cupola that is covered in lead, featuring depressed arches and an ogee dome topped with a weathervane. The façade consists of three bays with 16-pane glazing bar sash windows that have stone lintels and cills, although the ground-floor sashes have been removed. There is a partly blocked former carriage entrance with a gauged brick depressed arch, stone hinge blocks, and a 20th-century boarded door with an overlight. The stable doors on the far left and right have depressed gauged-brick heads.

To the left is the coach house, which has two pairs of large boarded doors with a continuous wooden lintel and stone hinge blocks, as well as a small segmental-headed panelled door. A two-light window is located on the first floor of the left-hand return front. Inside, stable fittings remain in the left-hand part of the stable block. The building appears to have been constructed in two phases, indicated by a straight joint between the stable block and coach house and the difference in brick colour. The stable block was likely built slightly earlier, creating a symmetrical composition.
