Spye Park House With Stables And Gate Piers

Spye Park House, originally built as stables and a coach-house, dates from the mid 17th century. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a stone slate roof and features two rear chimney gables with paired diagonal stacks. The building has coped gables with finials and a lead-capped bell cupola at the west end. It is two storeys tall with an attic and has chamfered recessed mullion 2-light windows. The north front showcases five gables, with the central gable housing an 18th-century clock in a roundel, while the others contain windows with dripstones. There are seven similar windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor to the left. To the right, there is a range of six arched coach entries, each with raised keystones and imposts. The west wall has a blocked arched opening in the gable.

To the left of the main range is a link that features a large arched doorway with ornate carved 19th-century double doors from the demolished Spye Park. This link connects to an L-plan stable range from the mid to late 19th century, which has an ashlar front and rock-faced rubble stone at the rear. The west front of this range has two shallow shouldered gables with roundels above two large four-panel doors, alternating with large 12-pane windows. The range extends slightly to the west, linking to a lower similar range with one gable over a similar 12-pane window, with doors on either side. A rubble stone wall connects to two 19th-century ashlar gate piers topped with ball finials.

The west end wall of the original range features 2-light mullion windows with hoodmoulds on the attic and first floor, and an arched opening on the ground floor. The rear has two large chimney gables set to the left, with attic 2-light windows, and two first floor 2-light windows beneath a single dripcourse. The ground floor includes a lean-to with four short 2-light mullion windows and two doors. To the right, there is a long catslide roof and a ground floor with a similar pair of short 2-light windows, with doors on each side. The original range is said to date from 1654 and was built for the Bayntun family, who moved to Spye Park after the destruction of Bromham House during the Civil War. The 19th-century additions were likely constructed for J.W.G. Spicer, who owned the property from 1864.
