Description
Stable Court and Cottage at Ken Hill House were built around 1880 by J.J. Stevenson. The structures are made of coursed, squared carstone and covered with red pantiles. The design features a four-sided court with a cottage and stable range, showcasing "Queen Anne" or Domestic Revival style elements.
The south-east range has symmetrical semi-circular arches and piers, consisting of nine bays with a filled-in screen wall that reaches the height of the arches. The five central bays and both outer bays have arches that extend across the gables of the cottage and stable, with a common plinth and string course that serves as flat coping across the wall. The cottage is a single storey with an attic, featuring two arches filled in with Diocletian windows, and a third 20th-century window added to the former first open bay of the screen wall. The gable has a circular arch with a keyed surround and a coped gable. The stable block's gable mirrors the details of the cottage's south gable.
The stable range at the north-east is also single storey with attics, and includes a one-and-a-half storey loft at the south-east with a ground floor door and a half dormer loft door, both with coped verges and a single stack. The stable to the north has three boarded double doors with glazing bar heads, with the center section projecting forward and featuring two similar double doors beneath a hipped roof, which has a pigeon loft at the apex. Beyond the stable is a workshop with a door and a four-light glazing barred casement, along with a smaller room that has a door, casement, and hipped gable.
On the ridge to the south, there is an off-centre rectangular wooden louvred cupola topped with an ogee profile lead roof and a weather vane displaying the initials "EG" for Edward Green. The court is enclosed by walls on two sides. The cottage originally served to house unmarried male servants separately from the main house.
