Description
The building is a former stables and coach house, along with a linking wall and mounting block, located to the southwest of Foxwold. It was designed in 1883 by Sir Alexander Stenning in a Vernacular Revival style. The structure consists of a north wing and a south wing connected by a wall that includes a mounting block.
The exterior of the south wing features a ground floor made of red brick in Flemish bond, while the first floor is either tile-hung or timber-framed with plastered infill. The roof is tiled and has two tall brick chimneystacks and an octagonal cupola, which has a lead base, louvred wood above, and an ogee-shaped roof topped with a metal weathervane. The north side includes a penticed verandah supported by two cast iron columns. To the right, there are two conjoined gables with close-studding and curved braces, along with two mullioned and transomed casement windows. Below these is a set of three wooden double doors that lead to the former coach house. To the left, the ground floor is of brick and features a four-light mullioned and transomed window. There is a projecting wing to the left with close-studding on the gable and tile-hanging on the first floor, which includes a former hoist for the hayloft. The ground floor here has a corner five-light mullioned and transomed window. The return side has a gable with close-studding and a triple mullioned window. The rear or south elevation has a ground floor of red brick, a tile-hung first floor, and four mullioned windows.
Attached to the south wing is the north wing, which served as the former stables. This wing is a single storey made of brick with a tiled roof and features two close-studded and tiled gables. It contains three mullioned and transomed windows, a stable door to the right, and a double door to the left.
Inside the south wing, there is a tack room with boarded walls, a cupboard, a firegrate, and a brick floor. The upper floor includes a hayloft and additional accommodation. The north wing retains two stalls separated by a wooden partition, with the upper part of the walls tiled and cast iron feed baskets present.
