Description
Stable Court at Waldershare Park is a stable courtyard that has been converted into flats. It was built between 1705 and 1712 for Sir Henry Furnese, with attribution to architect William Talman. The structure was altered in 1913 by Sir Reginald Blomfield and again in the late 20th century. The building features red brick and a slate roof. Originally, it formed a complete courtyard, but now only two sides remain, with the northern side featuring a reset carriage gateway.
The entrance front is two storeys high and includes brick pedimented pavilions on both the left and right sides. The central projection has a triple keyed carriage arch supported by imposts, with a rendered cornice leading to an open pediment that features an arcaded cupola topped with a leaded ogee dome. The central pediment has a clock face and an inscription that reads "DISCE VIVERE." There are twelve glazing bar sash windows on the first floor and three on the ground floor of the right pavilion, with sunk panels between the two storeys. To the left, there are two central boarded doors, with a round-headed glazing bar sash window in the re-entrant section of the main range.
The courtyard originally had four carriage arches, which have now been infilled with panelled doors and glazing bar sashes, featuring glazed segments. The arches have gauged surrounds with triple keyed heads and raised voussoirs. The range that faces the main house consists of 11 bays, with windows set in recessed panels. Inside, the left projecting wing contains further infilled double height carriage entries, supported by brick pilasters, with a keyed gauged arch and frieze. The end walls of both pavilions show signs of rebuilding, likely from the 1913 alterations. The third side of the courtyard is enclosed by a wall approximately 8 feet high, featuring offset buttresses and piers topped with ball finials. The wall culminates in an open pediment with pilaster-quoins, a keyed gauged arch, and simple double wrought iron gates, along with a pedestrian gate to the right.
