Description

The remains of Trentham Hall include a former stable block and service quarters, designed by Charles Barry in the Italianate style and built in the 1840s. The structure is made of brick with stucco architectural details, and the east elevation is painted. The roof is covered with clay pantiles, and there are rendered brick stacks with bracketed cornices, along with casement windows.

The L-shaped range forms the north and east sides of the service yard. The south and west elevations of the two-storey former stable block and service quarters face the service yard. The south elevation of the north range features seven bays with irregular fenestration, accented by shouldered and eared architrave. The east end of this range concludes with a two-storey square block that has a rusticated ground floor and quoins on the first floor. It is topped with a deeply bracketed eaves cornice and a pyramidal roof covered with slate tiles. The first-floor windows have cornices supported on consoles.

The ten-bay west elevation of the east range has square window openings with shouldered and eared architrave on both floors, separated by a plat band. Towards the left-hand end is the carriage entrance, which has a barrel-vaulted ceiling and includes first-floor taking-in doors. The east elevation of this range is plain, featuring small, deeply recessed rectangular openings. The interior was not inspected in 2018.
