Description

Melton Constable Hall's stable court features a detached east range built in 1810. This structure is made of gault brick and has slate roofs. It aligns with the entrance to the west and consists of a four-bay single-storey stable block, which is framed by brick pilasters and segmental arches. The stable block includes panelled doors and one sash window with glazing bars set within a larger opening. Notable architectural details include a deep modillion eaves cornice, coped parapets, and stacks at the south end. At the center of the ridge is a cupola with louvred sides.

To the south, there are three two-storey cottages separated by pilasters, featuring sash windows and panelled doors, a hipped end gable, and two ridge stacks. A curtain wall and a hipped roof single-storey game larder form the south side of the court. To the north, there is an eight-bay range that includes three open and four blocked segmental arched bays, along with a three-bay stable that has end pilasters. The south gable and rear wall are constructed of English bond red brick with quoins, suggesting a late 17th-century origin. The cottages to the south have crudely chamfered beams.
