Description
The stable block adjoining Hanley Court, built around 1750, is currently used for general agricultural purposes. It has undergone alterations in the mid-19th century and early 20th century. Constructed from brick with ashlar dressings, it features some rubble walling and has partly-hipped roofs made of plain tiles and asbestos. The building is arranged in a U-shape, with the main entrance facing southwest. The southeast side is primarily occupied by the former service wing of Hanley Court, while the northwest side has been altered and extended.
The main southwest elevation consists of 5:1:5 bays, with a prominent central bay featuring a large gabled cross-wing. This central section includes a round archway with a Gibbs surround, a round-headed six-pane window above, and a circular opening at the top of the gable. At the peak of the roof ridge is a six-sided lantern with a square timber base, complemented by a moulded cornice, a domical roof, and a tall weathervane. The flanking wings each have 2:1:2 bays, with the central bay gabled and projecting forward, featuring another round archway with a Gibbs surround and a blind circular opening above. There are two blind openings with cambered heads on either side of the central bay, and three of the openings have had 2-light 20th-century casements inserted.
Inside, the roof is supported by two tiers of trenched purlins and some sling brace trusses. One stable on the northwest side retains an original pair of stalls, complete with ball finial detail and all brass fittings.
