Stable Block 10 Metres To North East Of Barwick House

The stable block located 10 metres to the north-east of Barwick House dates back to 1742. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, featuring black brick stretchers and a smut pantiled roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of six bays. The central section has two bays, flanked by single outer bays and two cart entrance bays that project forward, each topped with semi-dormer gables.

On the ground floor, the centre has four sash windows with glazing bars set under cambered brick arches, along with two boarded doors beneath segmental rubbed brick arches. There are two boarded loft window openings on the first floor. The entrance gable bays feature segmental rubbed brick arches with keystones above the cart entrances, which are partly filled in with brick. The boarded doors here have rectangular over door lights. Above the arches, there are two brick string courses. The semi-dormers at the eaves level have a single central l'oeil de boeuf window, surrounded by a round arch and four keystones. The shaped gable above includes two stone roundels on pedestals, with a brick coped parapet forming a pediment at the apex.

The outer bays have single ground floor boarded doors. The facade is enhanced by raised brick end quoins at the corners, a brick plinth, and a three-course moulded brick eaves cornice. The south gable features a first-floor brick blank arch with a lower casement and upper brick infill, as well as a semi-circular arch with brick imposts and a keystone. Above this, there is a stone date plaque in an arched niche that reads "RG 1742," indicating it was built by Robert Glover. The gable is finished with a tumbled parapet. The north gable has a similar arch with a boarded loft door. The rear of the building includes three ground floor openings and eight first floor openings, which consist of six honeycomb openings, one loft door, and one window. Robert Glover was also responsible for the construction of Barwick House, the carriage block, and the Ivy Farm barn in Stanhoe.
