Description

The stable and outbuildings located at the rear of the stable and carriage house at Saling Grove date from the mid-19th century. They are constructed of red brick featuring moulded brickwork and have an original roof covered with interlocking red tiles. The design of this building matches that of the forward range, showcasing moulded parapet verges at the gable ends and buttresses at the corners.

The structure consists of six bays with pilasters between them and a moulded brick plinth. The left bay contains three rooms, each with top louvres on vertically boarded doors and segmental brick arches above. These rooms likely served as pigeon or fowl houses originally, as indicated by small openings on the outer rear or left return wall, which also features a V pattern of small quatrefoil stone vents above each door. There is a similar door in the fourth bay, along with three windows set in recessed panels and one blocked recessed panel.

To the right, there is a cart lodge supported by timber, and a vertically boarded door is located at the far right. The rear wall consists of twelve bays with similar architectural details. This building, along with the walls, stable, and lodge, forms an unusually complete and attractive model farm complex from this period.
