Court Lodge Stable Cottage Wren Court

Court Lodge Stable Cottage is a stable block that has been converted into three houses. It was built in 1742, possibly designed by Richard Trubshaw for Sir Theophilus Biddulph. The structure features Flemish bond red brick with a sandstone ashlar plinth and dressings, topped with old tile hipped roofs. There are 19th and 20th century brick ridges, and internal and lateral stacks at the rear and wing. The building is in an L-plan shape, with a wing on the right at the back, and exhibits a mid Georgian style.

The cottage is two storeys high and has seven bays. The symmetrical front includes a projecting pedimented center with a large moulded and rusticated archway that features a triple keystone carved with a coat of arms and acanthus leaves. Within this archway is a recessed two-window range from the late 20th century. The pediment is adorned with a mid 18th century clock that has a slate face, set in a moulded stone surround decorated with acanthus leaves.

Each side of the building has a central doorway with a moulded stone eared and shouldered architrave, a triple keystone, and a pediment. The Court Lodge on the left has a glazed door, while Wren Court has a late 20th century six-panelled door; both feature sidelights and an overlight. The sash windows have moulded stone sills and flat arches with triple keystones. The building has stone-coped brick parapets that sweep up at the ends, and a central painted wood octagonal bell turret with keyed round arches and an ogee lead roof topped with a fox weathervane. The return sides, rear, and wing are finished with a brick dentil cornice.

Extensive alterations were made in the late 20th century. The bell is inscribed with 'Sir Theophilus Biddulph H B MAD ME 1745'. Originally, this building served as the stables for Birdingbury Hall, where Richard Trubshaw is known to have worked in 1742.
