Description

The stable block, now used as workshops, dates from 1746 and was intended for early 19th century use. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tiled roof. The building is one storey high with a loft, set on a plinth, and features a plat band and a corbelled brick eaves cornice beneath a hipped roof that has three hipped dormers. There is a boarded loft door to the center left, two segmentally headed wooden casement windows on the ground floor, and a boarded door at the center with a segmental fanlight above. Above the door, there is a dated brick with a relief inscription: A C 1746, with the letters separated by the Courthope fleur-de-lys. To the right, there is a single storey hipped extension that includes two boarded carriage doors. The interior remains structurally unaltered, and there is a walled courtyard attached to the rear.
