Old Stable Block

The Old Stable Block, dating from the 16th century, 17th century, and early 19th century, is a two-storey main building with a southeast front. To the north of the west end, there is a single-storey wing that forms less than a right angle, along with a small two-storey crosswing at its north end, both from the early 19th century. The main elevation has a generally symmetrical appearance, highlighted by a raised centre with a gable and an open bell turret on top. The west side features three windows and a central doorway, while the east side has two high windows. The roofs are tiled, and the building has brick dentil eaves and weather-boarded gables, one of which includes a clock face. Above this, there is an open wooden arched frame that supports a flat roof. The walls are constructed of red brick in English bond, with stone dressings that include rusticated flush quoins and flat arches, as well as a small moulded doorway with a four-centred arch. The east gable features a similar but larger doorway. The later extension and the west gable of the main block have brick dentils at the verge and a second-floor string that rises in the middle as a hood-mould. The openings have rubbed flat arches, and there is a slightly projecting gabled entrance in the centre. All windows are casements with diagonal leaded lights.
