Description
The main stable block to the former Estcourt House is a large formal structure dated 1781, located in Shipton Moyne. It features ashlar faced coursed stone with a stone slate roof, and has central rear wings covered with concrete tiles. The building is designed in a T-shape, consisting of a single storey and loft, with central and end pedimented bays. The central bay is stepped back twice towards the rear. Each pediment has a moulded stone cornice, a datestone at each end, and a clock face at the center, along with a large round keyed oculus featuring radial glazing at the loft level.
The central bay is topped with a tall wooden bellcote that has arched sides and a domed lead roof, complete with a ball finial and weathervane. Each ground floor arch features a large basket arch with imposts, which is open in the center but has 20th-century sliding doors. The tops of the arches are glazed at each end, with inset stonework leading to the stalls. On either side of the arches, there are three round-headed recessed blind arches, each with a three-tiered ventilator and a sill band at the impost level.
The interior retains nearly all of its original fittings, including mangers, feeding racks, stalls, and partitions, and features a chamfered edge square cast iron column in each end bay. To the right of the central open arch, there is a mounting block consisting of four steps. This stable block is the most significant surviving formal building from the Estcourt House estate, which has since been demolished, along with the coach house.
