Stable And Coach House Range (Now Partly Farm Buildings)

The Stable and Coach House Range, now partly used as farm buildings, dates from the early 18th century. It is part of a double farmyard that includes stables, animal houses, a granary, and a barn. The north range was incorporated into a larger quadrangle in the late 18th century. The building features red brick on a hammer-dressed sandstone ashlar plinth and has hipped roofs covered with old tiles, with some areas patched with machine-made tiles.

The structure is quadrangular and divided north-south by lower ranges flanking a dovecote. It stands two storeys high, with eaves that include a dentilled course. On the south side, there are three segment-headed coach arches with two orders and key stones to the left of the throughway, along with a small bullseye window. The west side has a barn at the southwest end with two segment-headed entries and walls that are perforated for ventilation. There are also four implement shed entries with drum piers and segment-headed relieving arches, above which are lozenge-shaped vent perforations.

The north side features two quoined outer breaks, each with two bays and bull-nose sills to the windows. The east side has nine gabled dormers. A cross range divides the fold yards and includes an open-fronted shelter to the north, the dovecote, and a two-storey bull-pen with a pyramidal roof and acorn finial, flanked by three-bay pigsties that likely date from the later 18th century. The interior of the barn has queen strut, double purlin roofs. This impressive country house farmyard was designed according to model lines and may have been remodelled in the later 18th century by Capability Brown.
