Police Station And Attached Walls To North East And South West, Former Kings Weston Stables

The building is a former stable, now serving as a police station, constructed in 1763 by Robert Mylne. It is made of limestone ashlar with a slate roof and forms three sides of a quadrangle with a single-depth plan. The structure is two storeys high and features a 14-window range. The design is symmetrical, highlighted by a tall central semicircular archway in a pedimented gatehouse that includes a clock. On either side of the gatehouse, there are arcades of three semicircular arches supported by impost blocks, with 6/6-pane sashes on the ground floor and lunettes in the arches. The building also has four-arch arcades that extend forward, featuring vehicle doorways at the ends, along with a cornice and parapet. The end gables are pedimented and include blind semicircular arches, flat-headed niches, and a blind oculus in the pediment. The interior was rebuilt in 1959 to accommodate police functions while retaining the original walls. Additionally, there are attached rubble walls that extend approximately 50 meters to the northeast and southwest of the front wings, featuring central gateways with capped piers that originally had ball finials. This building was formerly the stables for Kings Weston House, and the attached walls are similar to those connected to the lodges of the former kitchen garden located opposite.
