Description

Twatley Manor Farm buildings are stables that have been repurposed as farm buildings, dating from around 1920 to 1930. They were likely designed by Septimus Warwick for Herbert Choplin Cox. The buildings are constructed from coursed limestone rubble with stone dressings and feature stone tile roofs with stone coped gables. There are axial and gable-end stacks with ashlar shafts.

The layout consists of two separate ranges. The south range includes two back-to-back yards that housed stables, a blacksmith's shop, a large water tower and pump-house, a mess room, offices, and garden sheds. The north range is arranged around a courtyard and contains open-fronted vehicle sheds, a vet's room, a fire station, a laundry house, and grooms' lodges. The buildings are designed in a 17th and 18th century vernacular revival style.

The exterior features one storey and attic, along with single-storey ranges that have stone mullion windows, gables, and dormers. The north courtyard range includes circular piers for the open-fronted vehicle sheds, a gabled carriageway with an oval pitching-eye, and a re-set datestone inscribed "J.H. 1772." The inner elevation has external stairs leading to doorways flanked by windows in gables, each with an ashlar stack on the side. The east side has a Tudor-arch carriageway situated in a squat cross-gabled tower topped with a weather-vane. Adjacent to this is a single-storey cottage featuring stone mullion windows and a gabled projection at the center with a doorway under a gabled canopy.

The south range has a yard on the north side with open-fronted sheds and an arched gateway with a wrought-iron gate and a fox above. The west range includes external stairs leading to a loft door at the north end and a large water tower with a cross-gabled roof. The south yard contains ranges of stables with lofts. Inside, some of the ranges have glazed tile walls.
