Description

The stable block at the Bower House, built around 1729, is attributed to either Henry Flitcroft or possibly Bridgeman, who designed the surrounding landscape. The stables are positioned in front of the house at right angles and are constructed from similar materials. The building features two storeys and has a modillion cornice. Its sides slightly project and include large two-storey rusticated arched panels, with three central double-hung sash windows. A modern bell-turret is located on the roof.
