Description

Audley End Stables is a fine range of red brick buildings from the late 16th century, located to the west of Audley End House and the River Cam. The structure features gabled wings that project at the north and south ends, as well as in the center. The south front displays a window arrangement of 1:3:1:3:1, consisting of three-light windows with stone surrounds and mullions, topped with four-centred arched heads and brick square label moulds. Each side of the central wing has three brick gabled dormers. Moulded brick bands run across both fronts between the storeys. The north front has windows similar to those on the south, and between the wings, there are large bays with splayed corners and tiled roofs, each featuring two storeys of lights, although the lower storey is blocked. The central wing includes an archway adorned with pilasters and a pediment. The roof is tiled and features an octagonal lantern with a leaded fleche at the intersection of the central wing and main block.
