Description

This is a former coach house and stable block, dating from the early 18th century with alterations in the 19th century. It was designed by Francis Smith of Warwick for Sir Charles Pye. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, including rusticated ashlar quoins of unequal length, and has a hipped slate roof.

The building forms the northernmost wing of a pair which originally flanked a courtyard; the other wing is Clifton Hall. The intention was to link these service buildings with a main house range to the east, but this never occurred. The south elevation has two storeys, with a moulded plinth and eaves cornice, reduced proportions to the upper level, and raised blind panels between the windows and eaves. It features seven bays with casements and glazing bar sashes, each with a gauged brick head, raised keystone, stone sill, and brick apron. The central doorway has a moulded architrave and a swan neck pediment on console brackets, displaying the Pye coat of arms.

The west elevation is similar, with a moulded plinth, eaves cornice, and raised blind panels. It has five bays, casements with gauged brick heads, and a central doorway with an elaborately moulded architrave, semi-circular pediment, and raised keystone. The north elevation includes two large cart entrances with segment heads, flanked by blind openings and altered doorways at each end. Above are four two-light casement windows, with a similar blind window to the left and an altered loft doorway to the right. The east elevation has a central doorway flanked by windows, the outer right one being blind, and the inner left window also blind. The outer right window was enlarged to create a doorway. Above are five two-light casements.

Inside, the original plan is retained, featuring a central open court, two coach houses to the north, and stabling to the east and west. Upper floors were used to house grooms and store hay.
