Pool House And Attached Former Stable Block

The Pool House and attached former stable block, now a veterinary surgery and hospital, dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone 20th-century alterations to the stable. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped tile roof with brick return lateral stacks. It has a double-depth plan and is designed in a Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a four-window range. The exterior includes a plinth, ground and first-floor sill bands, and a top cornice.

The round-headed entrance, located to the left of the centre, features a doorcase with pilasters, an entablature, and a pediment, along with an early fanlight that has thick wooden glazing bars, which is a common style in Lichfield, above a six-panel door. The windows are adorned with rubbed brick flat arches, with 12-pane sashes on the ground floor, plate glass sashes on the first floor, and six-pane sashes with sills on the second floor. The left return has an entrance with a six-fielded-panel door and a round-headed stair window with a sash. The rear of the building includes a hipped wing and various two-storey and single-storey flat-roofed additions.

Inside, the windows are fitted with shutters, and the rooms feature cornices. One room has a large segmental-headed fireplace. The stair, located to the left of centre, has a cut string with column-on-vase balusters that cluster at the foot, and a moulded ramped handrail. The stable block has a 20th-century connection to the house and a 20th-century lean-to outshut. It features a modillioned brick cornice and a hipped tile roof, with the first floor having a blocked segmental-headed opening and a boarded pitching hole. The left return includes a segmental-headed pitching hole and a lower rear addition. This building is a notable example of Georgian architecture in Lichfield. The stable block was listed on March 6, 1970.
