Stable And Coach House Block Of Lycombe House

The stable and coach house block of Lyncombe House is an early 19th-century building located on Lyncombe Vale Road. It is constructed of limestone ashlar or rubble with slate and pantile roofs. The structure features two compact gabled ranges connected by a lower hipped block to the south and a lean-to block to the north, creating a small courtyard enclosed by a boundary wall.

The southern facade, which faces a school, showcases two coped gables, each with a small arched light above a small oculus. The ground floor has a wide 'Palladian' unit; the left side includes one nine-pane light and two blind panels, while the right side has paired margin pane lights set within a central panel that also features paired margin pane lights in an arch. All openings are framed with platband surrounds. The lower unit, aligned with the same plane, has a central square ridge ventilator above the door and two twelve-pane sash windows.

The left-hand range also has a central ridge ventilator and an ashlar front with a central twenty-pane sash and flanking sixteen-pane sashes at the first floor, positioned above former carriage openings. This range includes a cornice, blocking course, and parapet, with a coped gable facing the road that has a large central blind oculus. The rear wall is plain, featuring one large window on the ground floor, along with a cornice and high blocking course.

The high boundary wall has broad flat coping that sweeps up to the right and includes a pair of tall square piers topped with flat pyramidal caps, alongside 20th-century gates. The left gable end of the second range is two storeys high and has a pantile roof. The outer wall of this range features three nine-pane sashes above two twelve-pane sashes, with an attached lower wing.

Historically, these buildings are linked to the former pleasure grounds of Lyncombe Spaw and may date from after 1805, when the declining attraction was put up for auction and considered for conversion into a private residence. The buildings have undergone significant alterations and currently serve as classrooms and accommodation for a school.
