Description
The Stable Block and Riding School at Hackwood Park is a building from the early 19th century, likely designed by Lewis Wyatt. It features a square courtyard surrounded by two-storey ranges on three sides, with a three-storey centerpiece at the eastern entrance. The west range is single-storey but matches the height of the others and ends in projecting octagons. The building has hipped slate roofs and stucco walls, with plain cambered openings on the upper floor and a plinth.
The main east facade has a symmetrical arrangement of three windows on each side of a tall centerpiece that includes an attic floor. This centerpiece is adorned with four pilasters, architraves around the openings, a central arch with a keystone, and moulded cornices at the top, along with a deep coving at the eaves level. Atop the centerpiece is a timber clock tower featuring a dome, corner pilasters, an arched opening on the upper stage, and ball finials above the pilasters that frame the clock face.
The west facade, which houses the Riding School, showcases nine blind arcades, with the upper sections designed as lunette windows. This arcading is also reflected on the square faces of the octagonal ends. The front part of the block remains residential, while the south range primarily serves as a stable block.
