Description
The Stables to North Court is an early 19th-century building, likely constructed for General Sir Willoughby Gordon. It features a central coach house made of iron stone ashlar, while the rest of the structure is built from coursed rubble stone with a hipped slate roof. The central section has three tall archways with four-centred heads, although the cupola that once topped it is no longer present. The building has stone coping and a cornice along the parapet.
On the left wing, there is one three-light mullioned window with a hood moulding, a blocked cambered doorcase, and remnants of the top of another three-light mullioned window that has been later extended into double doors. The right wing also has one three-light mullioned window with a hood moulding, along with a blocked four-centred arch; only the hood moulding remains from another window that has been modified to form a garage door. The building sits on a plinth, and the interior features 19th-century wooden boarded stall partitions supported by iron columns at the ends.
