Description

These former stables, now a domestic residence, were originally built in the late 18th century with additions made in the early 19th century and converted in 1987. They are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern. The building has a plain tile roof. The stables run north from and are connected to the west end of a late 18th-century brick addition to the north range of Acrise Place and face east. The building is two storeys high and features a rendered plat band and a plain stone-coped parapet. The roof is hipped to the south and continuous with later additions to the north. There are five rear stacks.

The front facade has a regular arrangement of seven windows. Three central window bays project slightly, topped with a stone-coped triangular pediment. This pediment is surmounted by an octagonal bell cupola with a leaded ogee roof and weathervane; an oval clock face is set within the pediment. A door with flush panels, a rectangular three-light fanlight, and a cambered head is located at the southern end. Regularly spaced doorways and windows are present on the ground floor, with all windows featuring splayed brick voussoirs. Two consecutive additions are to the north: the first of red and grey brick in Flemish bond, the second of red brick. Both north additions feature plain tile roofs and dentilled brick eaves cornices, with a hip to the north end.

A carriage entrance with an elliptical head is located towards the south end of the first north addition. The windows are two-light casements with top lights and segmental heads. Various doorways are incorporated into the facade. Two single-storey brick additions extend from the rear. The first rear addition has a staggered-butt-purlin roof without a ridge piece. The interior has not been inspected.
