Description
The stables to Danson Park, built around 1765, are likely designed by Sir Robert Taylor and are contemporary with Danson Park Mansion. The building has a half-H plan and is constructed from Portland stone with a slate roof. The main north side features a slightly projecting center that includes three coach-houses on the ground floor, flanked by pilasters and double doors. Above these, at ground level, are three large lunette windows, each with 22 panes. A small octagonal wooden cupola sits atop the roof. On either side of the central projection, there are round-headed doorways with semi-circular fanlights and square windows above, each containing 12 panes. The inner face of each half-H wing has three windows on the first floor and one on the ground floor, situated between two round-headed doorways with semi-circular fanlights. The south ends of the wings feature large round-headed rusticated arches, with lunette windows positioned above the stringcourse.
