Stables, Coach Houses Including Coachman'S Cottage And Lodge North Of Knypersley Hall

A range of stables, coach houses, a coachman’s cottage, and a lodge dating from the mid-19th century, situated north of Knypersley Hall. The buildings are constructed of Flemish bond red brick with stone dressings and ashlar. The roofs are tiled with saddle-back stone coping to the gable ends, and a pyramidal hipped roof to the dovecote. Ashlar stacks are present, with the lodge featuring three diagonally-set shafts.

The stables are a single-storey range with a nine-window front. A two-storey ashlar dovecote pavilion is positioned to the left of centre. The stable windows are stone, cross-mullion-transom windows with iron casements and glazing bars; a round-headed doorway is on the right. The dovecote has a heavy moulded stone modillion cornice, a carriage doorway, and a two-light window above, the mullion having been removed. A coach house wing, now incorporated into the Coachman’s Cottage, projects at a right angle to the left (west). This wing features three large four-centred arches: the right a carriageway, the centre a coach house with a studded double door and strap hinges, and the left with an inset window. A small gable above the coach house has a two-light stone window. The range to the left is rendered. The ashlar lodge at the right (southeast) end is of one storey and an attic, with a T-shaped plan and stone finials to the coped gables with kneelers. It has a four-centred arch doorway with a hoodmould and a blank shield above, mullion-transom stone windows with hoodmoulds and small attic lancets within the gables, also with four-centred arches.

The interior of the stables features segmentally curved iron trusses supporting the roof purlins. The coach house beneath the dovecote has a coved plaster ceiling.

These buildings were added to the Statutory List by the 5th Amendment on 22 August 1994.
