Description
The stables to the north-east of Lutwyche Hall are 18th-century structures that now serve as storage outbuildings and a house. They are built of brick with rusticated courses around the front carriageway and feature ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a brick dentil course at the eaves. The building is arranged in a square courtyard plan, with an extension wing flanking the entrance drive.
The exterior consists of two storeys that drop to a single storey due to the sloping site. The front features a wide central bay that projects forward, containing a large carriage entrance with a semicircular arch and a pendant keystone. The brickwork is laid in rusticated courses that connect to the rusticated brick voussoirs of the carriage arch. This is flanked by casement windows on each storey. Above the entrance is a wide plain pediment with ashlar dressings, a brick tympanum, and a central clock face surrounded by moulded ashlar.
On either side of the central bay are recessed sections with two casements on each storey. All windows are simple two-light casements, with top-lights at the ground storey and gauged brick lintels. On the left side, facing the entrance drive, there is a long single-storey buttressed range featuring an ashlar chamfered coped plinth, ashlar mullion windows, and a front door with a chamfered ashlar doorway. The wall continues from the stable front as a garden wall, which ends with a pier topped by a studded ball finial.
Inside the courtyard, there is a large plain brick entrance archway on the courtyard side, flanked by boarded loft openings. The opposing side has boarded doors in a single storey. The house side features 20th-century upper-floor casements above boarded doors and three undercroft openings with boarded doors, all with brick segmental arches. The right side has two two-light casements above two boarded doors, all set within brick segmental-arched openings. The interior has not been inspected.
