Description
The Coach House, Stable Block, Gate Piers, and Boundary Wall to the east of Holkham Hall is a stable and coach house block that dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It is arranged partly around a courtyard that is open on the north side. The building is constructed of gault brick with limestone dressings and features slate roofs that are partly hipped. It has one and two storeys, with a symmetrical facade on the south side that includes an advanced central block of six bays, where the two central bays are pedimented. The structure has rusticated quoins, plain stone strings, and plinths.
The lower three-bay side wings, which are also two storeys high, are slightly recessed from the main block. There are one-storey stable ranges that feature semi-circular headed arcading with multi-stone arches and keystones. A plain stone string runs at impost level, and some louvred openings have rubbed brick semi-circular arches. The building has moulded stone eaves and parapets, and gault brick chimney stacks on the ridge line topped with moulded stone caps. The pedimented gables at the southeast and southwest corners have oculi in keyed stone surrounds.
On the north facade of the central block, there are six pairs of large doors under segmental heads, along with a glazed iron-framed canopy supported by cast iron columns. The sash windows have glazing bars and ganged arches above the openings. The lower side wings feature hipped dormers. The entrance is flanked by stone gate piers topped with ball finials, and there is a stone-capped gault brick boundary wall that connects to two two-storey corner turrets, which have stone rusticated quoins and pyramidal roofs with gilded ball finials.
