Stable Block and the Rhyse and Attached Walls to South of Ashford Hall

This is a stable block and associated walls, known as The Rhyse, dating from the mid- to late 18th century, with a 19th-century extension and a 20th-century conversion to its current use. The building is constructed of brick, featuring a parapet with modillioned cornices to the front, cogged brick eaves elsewhere, and a hipped tile roof. A central bell turret of octagonal open arcade, sitting on a boarded plinth and topped with a lead cupola roof, ball finial, and weather vane, is a prominent feature. Brick ridge stacks and an integral eaves stack are also present.

The complex consists of an L-shaped range; one wing forming the stables and the other wing, The Rhyse, as a residential house. The east-facing stable front has a five-window range, with a more emphasized central three-window bay culminating in a pedimented parapet – a detail reflecting Ashford Hall. To the right of this section (towards the stables) are three original 18th-century mullioned windows with leaded-light iron casements and gauged brick lintels. The ground floor here incorporates two mullion-and-transom windows with leaded-light iron casements, alongside a double mullion window with a segmental arch. To the left are two 20th-century metal casements also with segmental arches, belonging to The Rhyse. A clock face is set within the pediment. A return side is partially obscured by a single-story extension. Steps lead to the first-floor entrance.

At the rear, a further 18th-century mullioned window with leaded-light metal casements is visible on the left, and a boarded doorway opening on the right. A former carriage entrance, now with 20th-century garage doors, is marked by a timber doorframe and a segmental arch. The front of The Rhyse features a five-window range of 20th-century casements, with a hipped tiled canopy over the central 20th-century front door and a two-window range to the rear.

Inside, the building retains a king-post truss roof, and houses a single-finger clock mechanism by George Payne of Ludlow, dated 1798.

Subsidiary to the main building is a brick wall with stone coping and pyramidal ashlar-capped gatepiers, which form an enclosed courtyard to the rear of the stables and The Rhyse.
