Description
Houghton Court, originally stables associated with Houghton Hall, dates to the 17th century and has undergone significant alterations. The building is constructed of dark red brick with an old clay tile roof. The main range has been converted into residential housing, featuring modern casement windows with glazing bars and glazed doors. Dormers with a gabled lattice design remain, along with distinctive chimney stacks featuring groups of two and four rectangular flues set at right angles to their bases. A lower range, set at a right angle to the main building, has been converted into garages.
