Description
This is a stable block, dating from the 18th century, that has been converted into a row of houses and extended around 1970. Constructed of red brick with a slate roof, it stands on a plinth with brick corbelled eaves and dentils. The roof is hipped, with a central broken pediment, a gable over the projecting central section, and an octagonal louvred cupola with an ogee-shaped roof. Chimneys are on the left and right ends. The central section, originally the coach house, features a clockface within the pediment. The first floor has a tripartite casement arrangement, with the central window having a dropped head and a traceried fanlight. The ground floor has two carriage entrances with gauged segmental arches on pilasters with impost blocks, and traceried fanlights above. Multi-paned casements are also present, and a panelled door is within the right-hand archway. The flanking wings have two 20th-century top-hung casements on the first floor, the outer ones being larger, and multi-paned "Georgian Bow" windows on the ground floor. Panelled doors with flat hoods are to the left and right. A 20th-century extension projects to the left, featuring irregular casements and a flat-roofed dormer. While the quality of the 20th-century windows and extension is considered poor and inappropriate, the overall structure and original openings remain complete and intact, preserving the building's integrity.
