Description
The stables, coach house, and courtyard walls located to the north-west of Widworthy Court were built in 1830 by George Repton. They are constructed from local stone and flint rubble, featuring Bathstone ashlar details, and have a slate roof. The stable courtyard is bordered on the south-east by the service wing of Widworthy Court and a high wall. On the north-east side, there is a low building, likely originally used for woodsheds and stores, which has been converted for domestic use. At the north-west end, a wall contains an archway connecting this building to the stable block, which projects further to the right.
The exterior features a six-bay front for the stable and coach house, with three bays in the courtyard and three in the projection. The central courtyard bay slightly protrudes and includes a large round-headed arch with imposts, a keystone, and a plain architrave. Flanking the arch are plain pilasters that reach up to a moulded entablature, above which is an upper stage with a circular clock face, flanked by pairs of pilasters and a moulded entablature. A gabled bellcote with scrolls sits atop this structure. Smaller round-headed arches with plain imposts, keystones, and architraves are found on either side, now blocked by 20th-century windows with glazing bars. The other three bays have similar designs. The eaves cornice is a plain ashlar band, and the roof is hipped at both ends.
The tall south-west wall is made of ashlar on the exterior, with stone rubble and ashlar dressings. The gateway features a tall arch with plain imposts and keystones, along with a moulded cornice. Inside, to the right of the gateway, there is a water trough set in a low semi-circular wall, fed by a tap designed as a lion's head mask.
