Stable Block 90 Metres North East Of Penton Lodge

The stable block, located 90 metres northeast of Penton Lodge, was built in 1865 and has been converted into a house, flats, and a chapel from its original use as a stable and coachhouse. It is constructed of brick with a slate roof and features a narrow single-storey range of stables flanked by two-storey cross-wings. The walls are made of red brick in Flemish bond, with brick-dentilled eaves and gables that have a pediment form. The wings have a first-floor band with an alternating pattern of dentils, and there are rubbed cambered arches and rubbed round arches in the recesses of the upper openings in the wing gables, along with stone cills and a plinth.

The centerpiece of the stable block has a tall, wide cambered arch with a keystone on its south elevation, flanked by rusticated pilasters and topped with a clocktower. The clocktower features a square panelled frame, brackets supporting a wide eaves, and a leaded spire. The west elevation of the west wing is nearly symmetrical, showcasing a gabled centerpiece with three arched windows (narrow on each side) above a carriage opening, flanked by narrow arched lights, and two carriage openings on each side. These entrances now contain varied openings due to the conversion for residential use. The east wing has less regular details, also adapted for residential use. The north elevation, facing the roadway, has no windows on the ground floor, with the wings projecting less and the center projecting more.
