Description
The Stable Yard, built in 1786 by Sir John Soane, is a group of stables that have been converted into flats. The building is made of red brick with a slated roof and is arranged around a square courtyard. It features single-storey ranges that sit on a plinth, with a plat band and box eaves. The windows are recessed semi-circular glazing bar sashes, and there are half-glazed doors.
The entrance block is two storeys high, featuring a central carriage arch and a clock tower above. The first floor has glazing bar sashes, while the ground floor has tripartite semi-circular headed glazing bar sashes. Opposite the entrance block is a carriage house that is one and a half storeys tall, with a central carriage opening set in an elliptical arched recess and large semi-circular glazing bar sashes.
The design is unified by a continuous painted plat band and cornice, recessed windows and doors, and small first storey sashes, all contributing to a geometrically based aesthetic.
Local climate
Stable Yard sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 65% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 79% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
