Stable Block At Avening Court, Adjacent To East End Of House

The stable block at Avening Court, located adjacent to the east end of the house, is the earliest part of the stables, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed from coursed and dressed rubble stone, featuring a Cotswold stone slate roof at the front (west) and a rubble stone and tile roof at the rear, along with a small lateral stone stack. The building is two stories high and has a central small pediment. There are two large flattened arch carriage entrances on the left and in the center, with a small lunette window below the pediment. To the right, there was originally a single door with a lunette window featuring intersecting tracery above, which has since been widened for a garage entrance. An iron weathercock is positioned on the roof. The range immediately to the rear is not of special interest.
