Description

The Stables at Branches Park is an 18th-century red brick building featuring a main block with projecting wings at both the north and south ends. It has two storeys and attics. The east front displays a window arrangement of 1:2:1:2:1, with two blocked windows on the inner faces of the wings and a four-window range on the north and south ends. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set in plain reveals and topped with segmental arched heads. The central section, which has one window range and a semi-circular arched doorway with a keystone and impost band, slightly projects forward and is adorned with a modillioned pediment and a semi-circular window in the tympanum. A raised brick band separates the storeys. The stable doors and three-light windows in the end wings are framed within semi-circular arched recesses. The roof is tiled and hipped on the end wings, featuring a modillioned eaves cornice. At the center, there is a square clock tower with a pedimented front, topped by an octagonal open domed cupola with semi-circular arches.
