The Lawns And Linked Outbuildings To South

This is a stable and gardener's house, later converted into a house with linked outbuildings. The buildings date largely to the 18th century, with significant enlargement in the early 19th century as a secondary residence to Offley Place. The southern building is of red brick with a steep roof covered in old red tiles. The northern building initially had similar brickwork to the southern part but was refronted and extended eastward and northward using chequered red brick with black headers and a hipped slate roof.

The southern building is of one-and-a-half storeys, facing east, with internal gable chimneys serving the upper floor. The east front features a central blocked doorway, two windows with casements, and two upper recesses to mimic a two-story appearance. A central round-arched doorway at the rear is now blocked. Single-story outbuildings are attached to the south end. A single-story, enclosed link corridor connects it to the main house.

The northern building is two stories high with a cellar, extending four windows along the east front. It has recessed sash windows with 8/8 panes. The front entrance is below the second window from the south. A six-panel door is set within an elaborate doorcase featuring an open pediment, and above is an elaborate, semi-circular fanlight. Internal gable chimneys are present at both the north and south ends, and a large rear northwest wing has three separate hipped roofs at different levels. A semi-circular fanlight sits above a former north entrance on the north front.

The south bay of the east front range is older, with lower floor levels altered to suit later regular refronting; one window cuts across the ground floor and the upper window is a dummy. The entrance opens into a stone-paved hall with a rear staircase. What were formerly two rooms in the north part are now combined. A wide recessed area in the west wall of the north part likely served as a buffet space. There are six-panel moulded doors and architraves with corner blocks, and two-panel 18th-century doors are found at the upper part of the south end. Panelled shutters are located in the splayed reveals of windows in the 19th-century section.
