Description
The former stables, located approximately 35 meters north of The Prestbury House Hotel, date from the late 18th to early 19th century. This stable block is constructed of Flemish bond brick with an ashlar gable end facing the road and features a slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan, with a wall that includes an entrance-way extending to the right of the gable end.
The stables are two storeys high with an attic, which is illuminated by three 2-light roof dormers. There are four segmental-headed cross windows, two double plank doors (one of which has glazing above), and two single plank doors set within segmental-headed surrounds. Additionally, there is one blocked single-width doorway. A brick dentil cornice runs along the top, and there is a blind round-headed archway in the gable end facing the road, featuring a continuous band at the impost level. The gable ends are adorned with saddleback coping and moulded kneelers topped with ball finials.
Adjoining the stables is a wall made of coursed squared and dressed limestone, which extends for about 13 meters and includes a subsidiary pier where the wall has been reduced in height to approximately 2.5 meters. The entrance is flanked by square piers that have double bands near the top and pyramidal cappings, with 20th-century lanterns at their apex. To the right of the entrance is an early plank door with decorative strap hinges, and the wall ramps down to a subsidiary pier that matches those flanking the entrance.
