Trent Meadows Including Attached Stables

Trent Meadows is a large house, dating from the early 19th century, which has been divided into three separate units. The main front range has plastered walls and a parapet, with a slate roof and brick stacks at the left end, and plastered stacks at the centre and right end. A rear range, likely the original service rooms, has brick walls. The layout is L-shaped, with an attached stable range at the rear and some 20th-century additions forming an angle between the two ranges.

The front elevation appears to have been built in two phases. The left section, now part of No. 2, is two storeys high, with plat bands marking the first-floor level and the base of the parapet. It features two sash windows with glazing bars on each floor. The right section, No. 1, is three storeys high, with a moulded cornice, plat bands at each floor level, and a central glazed door. The ground floor has four sash windows with glazing bars, the first floor has five similar windows, and the second floor has three sashes with vertical glazing bars and two casements. A late 19th-century conservatory was located at the right end but has been partly demolished.

The west (left) side elevation contains entrances to Nos. 2 and 3. No. 2 has a panelled door with a fanlight in a 20th-century glazed porch and a single sash window with glazing bars under a gauged arch on the ground floor. Two similar sashes on the first floor are incorporated into the end gable wall of the front range. No. 3 has a panelled door with a round-arched fanlight, and the ground and first floors each have two sash windows with glazing bars under gauged arches.

Internally, No. 1 retains some panelled doors with reeded architraves and an early 19th-century fireplace surround on the first floor. The main ground floor room in No. 2 has an enriched plaster cornice. A good geometrical cut string staircase features a wreathed handrail, plain balusters, and ornamental spandrels.

The attached former stable range at the rear, now used as garages and stores, has walls constructed of flint and stone banding with brick dressings in the lower part and a plastered cob upper part. It has a hipped slate roof and a range of timber garage doors on the ground floor, with a loft door above. Some original stable fittings remain. A single-storey former tack room, of similar construction, is located at the right end.
