Stable Court And Barn About 30 Metres East Of Northbourne Court

Stable court and barn, located about 30 metres east of Northbourne Court, date from the 17th century, with extensions and repairs made in the 18th and mid-19th centuries. The buildings are constructed of red brick with plain tiled roofs, and the extensions are made of brown brick. The coachhouse is two storeys high, featuring a hipped roof and a central projecting block with a pediment. It has three large buttresses and a cupola on top. There is one wooden casement window on each floor, garage doors to the right, and a boarded loft door with stairs to the left. A clockface is set in the pediment. Inside, there are Gothick plaster arched doorways. The stable range at the rear is a single storey with a central gabled projection, featuring four half-doors and four wooden casements. An early 18th-century barn at the north end completes the open courtyard, with a half-hipped roof made of red brick in Header Bond and a high plinth. The barn has a central hipped mid-strey and an interior with four bays, aisles, and a trussed rafter roof. Within the courtyard, there is a semi-circular ramped access way to the stables, with a retaining wall that rises to about four feet high at its maximum.
