Description
The stable block located 30 metres west of the south corner of Kirby House is a 18th-century structure. It is built of brick with grey headers and red dressings, featuring red raised quoins, a key block, and imposts to the central arch. The roof is plain tiled, hipped to the south and half hipped to the east and west, forming a T plan. The building is 1½ storeys high and has a raised central pediment on the north side.
On the north elevation, there is a central forward break with a blocked arched entrance beneath a semi-circular window. To the left, there is a blocked door under a rubbed brick flat arch, and to the right, a low, one-storey block of three bays separated by piers. The south elevation features a central forward break with two hips and a large opening that is covered by a glazed canopy supported by cast iron Corinthian columns. There are double doors to the left and a one-storey wing with four irregular casements to the left.
