Description
The former stable block, now a school building, was constructed around 1879 by Richard Norman Shaw. It is made of snecked dressed red sandstone and features plain tile roofs. The building has one storey and an attic on the west side, while the right side has two storeys.
On the south front, the right-hand block includes a brick ridge stack, a pair of first-floor 2-light mullioned stone windows flanking a former loft door, and a 2-bay arcaded ground floor with chamfered segmental arches. The lower left-hand block has a hipped semi-dormer on the right with a segmental-headed 2-light window, and a square wooden cupola on the ridge to the left, which features a circular clock on each face, a moulded segmental cornice above, and an ogee lead dome topped with a globe finial. The ground floor has a pair of segmental-headed 3-light leaded wooden casements.
To the left, there is a section of forecourt wall with chamfered coping and a square ashlar gate pier topped with a concave pyramidal cap. A matching section of courtyard wall connects to Adcote to the south.
