Description
The former stable block, located approximately 20 yards south-west of Dunston Hall, dates from the late 18th century and has undergone later alterations and additions. It features a hipped plain tile roof and is arranged in a main range that runs north-south, facing east. Attached to the south is a saddle room, and a later garage wing extends east-west from the north end of the east face, creating an L-shaped plan.
The main range is two storeys high and topped with a central cupola that has a lead-covered dome and a clock set within a pedimented aedicule. The façade consists of three sections with pilaster strip divisions, featuring small-pane casements with cast iron frames. The ground floor windows have semi-circular heads, while those on the first floor have segmental heads. The right-hand bay is obscured by the later garage wing. The central section has a gabled break with a ground-floor recess that reveals stairs to the left, a door to the right, and a central window. The first floor includes a Diocletian window with a raised key.
The saddle room is a single storey with a hipped roof topped by a louvre. It has three bays defined by pilaster strips, with small-pane casements on the left and right featuring Gothic glazing bars and semi-circular heads. The central entrance is a boarded door with a rectangular overlight beneath a segmental head. Dunston Hall itself is not included in this listing.
