Stable Block At Lee Place

The stable block at Lee Place, built in 1725, is possibly designed by James Gibbs. It features coursed squared limestone rubble and a stone slate roof. The central carriageway runs through a two-storey block topped with a clock tower on a hipped roof, which projects forward from a long single-storey range. This range is flanked by two-storey wings that have pediments. The carriageway has a basket arch with a keyblock on plain imposts and is flanked by symmetrical ground floor windows with glazing bars arranged in a 1:2:2:1 pattern. Smaller first floor windows are located above the carriage arch and in the projecting wings on either side. All windows have plain stone architraves, and there is a plain cill band and string-course. The carriageway is supported by buttresses at the rear, leading to a boarded door that provides access to the hayloft. Small windows ventilate the stables on the left and right. The interior has not been inspected.
