Description

The stables to Ockham Park House are a stable block that has been converted into flats. They were built in the early 18th century, likely designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor for the first Lord King. The structure is made of red brick with grey headers and features a hipped, plain-tiled roof that is partly hidden by parapets. The building has a half-H shape plan with projecting end wings and a central gabled carriageway that juts out slightly.

It is two storeys tall with attics that are now blocked. There are stacks located to the left and center, with an additional stack on the center of the left side. The building has plat bands above the ground and first floors, with stone coping on the parapet and central gable.

There are four bays on either side of a tall central carriage archway, which is topped with a gable and has a cambered head. Above the archway is a louvred opening set over an elliptical gauged brick arch. The first floor features two-light leaded cambered head casement windows on either side of the center, while the attic windows have been blocked.

On the ground floor, there are paired round-arched double doors on either side of the central archway, and single "cross" windows at the ends of the ground floor in the re-entrant angles with the wings. Each end wing has two windows on each floor, and there are lunette windows on the inner return fronts.

There are four-panel doors to the left and right of the center, each under glazed fanlights. A further door is located at the left re-entrant angle, accessible by a flight of steps, and another first-floor door can be reached by a wooden staircase within the carriage archway.
