Stable Block And Coachman'S House To Arlington Court

The stable block and coachman's house at Arlington Court were built in 1864. They are constructed from snecked stone rubble with rusticated ashlar dressings and feature slate roofs with gable ends, coped parapets, moulded stone cornices, and lion's head guttering. The building has a seven-bay stable and coachhouse range, with a clock tower above the central bay and a three-bay wing projecting to the left. This wing includes an integral coachman's house at its end, creating an overall L-shaped plan in a Baroque style.

The two-storey stable range has an arcade front that extends around three additional bays in the left wing. Each bay features a large rusticated round arch, while the central blind bay contains a niche with a stone-carved Chichester shield and a datestone from 1864 above, set in an open pediment that breaks the eaves on large stone console brackets. Above this is a large octagonal clock tower, with eaves extending over the clock faces, surrounded by rusticated segments and topped with a tall octagonal cupola that has open arcaded sides and a dome with a ball finial featuring the Chichester heron. The right-hand end bay is also blind but includes a semi-circular headed sash window. The corners of the stable range are accentuated with rusticated quoins.

At the left end of the wing, set back slightly, is the coachman's house, which is two storeys high and symmetrical with three bays. It has four-pane sashes in rusticated segmental arch openings, and the central segmental arch coach house doorway has a similar rusticated surround. The courtyard is enclosed on the south side by a low stone rubble wall that includes a mounting block and ashlar gatepiers topped with ball finials.
