Description

The coach house and stable block at The Wodehouse is an early 18th-century structure with late 19th-century alterations and internal remodelling. It is built of red brick and features plain tile roofs, with 19th-century brick end stacks that have star-shaped shafts.

The building has two storeys and a moulded eaves cornice. It is arranged in a pattern of 1:3:3:3:1 bays, with a central pedimented break that includes a first-floor band. There are two gabled crosswings that have coped verges and draped vase finials at the corners. The windows are mainly glazing bar sashes set beneath gauged brick segmental arches with raised keys. Each crosswing has a ground-floor Venetian window and a niche in the gable. The central break features two gauged brick segmental carriage arches with boarded doors. The flanking recesses each contain a central 19th-century panelled door with a moulded architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a bracketed pediment, along with a segmental arched opening above, which has a moulded architrave and raised key. The left-hand opening is blocked, while the right-hand one has a part-glazed two-leaf door. At the top, there is a central cupola with semi-circular arched openings, an ogee-shaped dome, and a dragon weather vane. Inside, the return of each crossing has a 19th-century panelled door with a rectangular overlight and a wedge-shaped plaster lintel that is grooved as voussoirs, along with a raised key and a first-floor keyed oculus.

Some stable fittings remain inside, including loose boxes and hay racks. The northern half of the building was converted into a music room in the late 19th century, likely for T B Shaw-Hellier.
