Stable Building And Coachmans Cottage 45 Metres North Of Jericho Priory

This is a stable range and coachman's cottage, dating from the late 18th century with extensions in the 19th century. The buildings are located 45 metres north of Jericho Priory. Constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, the roof is primarily of handmade red clay tiles, with some red clay pantiles.

The main range, facing southwest, consists of a coach house and stables, with a loft above. A coachman's cottage adjoins the right end, facing southeast, with a chimney stack in the rear wall. The main elevation, facing Jericho Priory, has three casement windows on the ground floor, each with a semicircular brick arch and marginal lights. One aperture is blocked. A further casement window is positioned at half-height towards the right end, also with a segmental brick arch. Double doors provide access in the middle, one wide and halved to the left, and one wide and plain to the right, leading to a set of loose boxes. A plain loading door is positioned on the first floor. All openings are defined by segmental brick arches; the arch over the left door has been rebuilt, and the arch over the right door has been repointed with cement mortar. A mounting block, consisting of two stone steps on a brick base, is situated near the right end. The brickwork of this elevation, and the left gable end (facing Church Street), incorporates numerous blue headers arranged in a regular pattern. A dentil brick cornice runs along each gable. The left end has double plain loading doors on the first floor and 19th-century moulded bargeboards. The cottage's east elevation features a six-over-six pane sash window with a segmental brick arch and, on the first floor, a 19th-century casement window. The cottage's roof is covered in machine-made red clay tiles. The rear elevation of the main range has two ground-floor windows similar to those on the front. Several cast-iron vents are present.

Inside the left (west) end of the stable range, four mid-19th-century loose boxes remain largely complete, featuring vertically boarded walls and partitions, sliding doors suspended from rollers, iron grills, acorn finials on the posts, and cast-iron corner hayracks. The floors are laid with blue stable bricks. The right end was originally similar, but most of the fittings were removed, leaving only the vertical boarding on the walls and the blue stable brick floors. The loft above has a raking strut and side-purlin roof, with straight tie-beams. Three mid-19th-century scrolled cast-iron brackets are located below the tie-beams.
