Ayton And Shipton Court Stables North Wing

Ayton and Shipton Court Stables, North Wing, is a former stable building that has been converted. It incorporates 17th-century ranges and underwent remodelling around 1903-1906 by Perkins and Bulmer. The structure is L-shaped, with the road front angled, designed in a Vanbruggian style. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and features hipped Cotswold stone roofs, along with a 20th-century corniced stone ridge chimney. Although it appears to be a single storey, it is actually one and a half storeys due to the conversion.

The most prominent feature of the road front is an arched gateway located to the right of centre within a gabled ashlar break. This gateway includes ball finials, a segmental arch, and imposts that extend as bands in both directions above the arched windows—three to the left and one to the right—along with raised quoins. The panelled doors from 1903-1906 are adorned with attractive Art Nouveau style metalwork. The multi-gabled south wing has been altered and modernised, but retains one original two-light mullion window at the east end. This front elevation is significant for its contribution to the formal setting of Shipton Court.
