Description
The stableblock adjoining Henlow Grange to the northwest is a building that has been converted into domestic accommodation. It originated in the late 17th century, was reworked in the mid-18th century, and extended in the 19th century. The structure is primarily made of red brick, featuring flared headers in the 18th-century section, and retains some exposed timber framing on the rear elevation. The roofs are half-hipped and covered with clay tiles.
The building consists of a long rectangular block that projects northeast from the main house, with the 19th-century section being slightly lower. It is one storey high with attics. There is a variety of casement windows, some of which have glazing bars, while others in the timber-framed section feature leaded lights. The dormer windows are irregularly spaced, mostly hipped in design.
The earlier part of the stableblock includes a central timber clock tower, which has a rectangular base topped by a hexagonal cupola with a leaded bell-shaped dome. On the rear elevation, there is a five-panel door set in a moulded surround. The building also showcases a variety of chimney stacks, including a substantial ridge stack on the earlier block. At the northeast end, there is a Doric-style timber portico.
