Description
Pavenham Court and Stable Lodge are former stable blocks and a coach house, dating to around 1860, originally part of the now-demolished Pavenham Bury estate. The buildings have been converted into two new dwellings. Constructed primarily of coursed limestone rubble, with a rear wing built of gault brick, they are characterised by an old clay tile roof. The design incorporates three sides of a courtyard, with a projecting rear wing.
The central block is one storey high with attics, featuring stone gable coping and three projecting ashlar dormers with gable coping, moulded kneelers, and windows with a honeycomb cast iron pattern. The ground floor originally featured three large, shallow carriage arches, now blocked and replaced with 4-light casement windows with high-level transoms. A doorway arch on the right-hand side is recessed, accessed by two steps. Similar wings extend to the east and west. The east wing includes two roof ventilation louvres. The windows are a mix of cast iron casements and 20th-century replacements with glazing bars. The brick rear wing has 20th-century box dormers. Bracketed, moulded brick eaves are present, along with ground-floor metal French doors with fanlights, each above a brick panel with slightly cambered moulded brick arches.
