Description

These buildings, dating from the early 18th century, form three sides of a courtyard and are influenced by the style of Vanbrugh. They consist of three separate blocks: a central coach-house and east and west stable blocks.

The main facade of the coach-house, facing a walled garden, features a recessed central portion of three sash windows with original glazing bars, the central window being a lunette. Flanking this are squat, three-storey towers, each with a lunette window on the second floor, a heavy cornice, a blocking course, and a pyramidical slate roof topped with a weather vane. Pilasters flank the ground floor, which has a recessed round-headed archway containing a lunette window. Walls connect the coach-house to the stable blocks, incorporating doorways and matching pilasters and lunette windows. The north side of the coach-house has five segmental-headed carriage doorways. Modern windows are above, with a cornice and parapet above.

The east and west stable blocks share a similar design, with a two-storey central portion featuring two windows on the ground floor, a doorway between them, and a lunette window on the first floor. Single-storey flanking wings extend from the central portions, each with two windows and a doorway. The cornice above the wings transitions to a string course along the central portion. All have slate roofs, with the central portions being pyramidical. Casement windows are fitted, along with keystones above the doorways.

A low wall with six piers closes the north side of the courtyard, with a taller, similar pair flanking the carriage entrance.
