The Stables At Crawley Grange

The Stables at Crawley Grange are former stables, a hayloft, coach house, gun room, and accommodation, now converted into two houses. They were built around 1907 by Henry Tanner junior, the architect responsible for the restoration and new north-east wing of Crawley Grange. The buildings are constructed in a Jacobethan style, forming three and a half sides of a courtyard. They are primarily handmade red brick in Flemish bond, with stone dressings and a tiled roof, featuring a lead cupola and brick and stone stacks placed diagonally.

The main south front is one storey with attics and has five windows. A central, battered lead cupola displays a gold clock face from 1829, made by Swaythes and Read. A central projecting gable includes ball finials, a stone sundial, and a four-light stone casement window. A four-centred arched carriage arch has battered pilasters with trefoil ornament and retains original wooden doors. Dormers with ball finials and mullioned windows are set into the roof. The ground floor has stone casement windows with brick relieving arches and a plinth. A stone two-centred arch is located on the left side.

The west wing features a central lead cupola, mullioned windows on the ground floor, a two-centred door with a hoist above on the east side, and two 20th-century dormers. The east wing has original wooden coach doors on the west side and a patio door within an existing opening on the east side. Adjoining the north-east side is an L-shaped stable range, with a louvred lead cupola, six stone mullioned windows, and six original wooden doors.

The fourth side of the courtyard is a brick wall with triangular coping, a modillion cornice, and a two-centred arched opening. This wall links to Crawley Grange, incorporating a similar wall with a four-centred stone arch and a wooden door.

One of the houses (No. 2) includes a gun room with purpose-built, panelled wooden cupboards for storing guns, a cambered brown tiled fireplace, matchboard panelling, and a boarded ceiling.
