Description
High House Stable Court and the attached curtain wall to the east of High House were built around 1829 by architect W.J. Donthorn for Anthony Hamond. The stable court features high-quality Holkham gault brick facades, with a red brick interior, and has slated roofs. It is a rectangular single-storey structure with four two-storey flat-roofed angle towers and a screen wall to the west that connects to High House. The design is in a highly abstract Greek Revival style with primitive Soanic references.
The east range has a tripartite layout with a central carriage entrance that features a rubbed brick arched barrel vault. Above this entrance is a projecting wooden cornice and pediment, which includes a central rubbed brick arch oculus. The slightly recessed wings maintain the eaves level string course and parapet. The south front showcases a Soanic porch with two central and two angle Greek Doric antae, an entablature, and two projecting cornices, topped with an attic that has round-headed finials. The antae are also repeated in the interior of the porch.
On the north side, there is a projecting bay with slit windows. Each angle of the stable court has two-storey towers: the south-east contains the grooms' dormitory, the south-west houses the Norman servants', the north-west is the brewery, and the north-east is the hay loft. The ground floor has a recessed center with three windows separated by brick antae that support a frieze and entablature aligned with the lateral ranges. The first floor features a single narrow pilastered opening. The slightly projecting angle antae have upper-level slits, with the orthodox position above the capital omitted. The building is adorned with a stucco cornice, frieze, and projecting wooden eaves that are broken forward over the angles, with a recessed center and flat roofs.
