Stables At Conock Manor

The stables at Conock Manor, built in the mid to late 18th century, are constructed of brick and topped with tiled roofs. The central block is two storeys high, flanked by wings that contain high stables and lofts above, with tack rooms at each end. The central block features raised stone raking and horizontal cornices, along with an attic that supports a Tuscan colonnade. A copper-clad cupola and windvane, which were renewed around 1965, sit atop the structure. The clock, made in 1864 by Joyce of Whitchurch, has two faces dating from around 1930, and there is a bell from 1765 by Wells of Aldbourne. The facade facing the house includes four blind windows with two-centred heads and stone hood mouldings, as well as an archway through the central block. The end bays have four-centred carriage doors on the rear elevation. The upper floor features oak-framed windows with 20th-century metal casements, and the stone eaves are dentilled. Inside, there are timber-shaped stable divisions and a chequered block floor, along with internal windows in the clockroom that have iron leaded windows.
