Ticket Office/Shop And Attached Barn, Hidcote Manor

The Ticket Office/Shop and attached barn at Hidcote Manor is a former stable with a dovecot above, now serving as a National Trust Shop. This structure dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century. The shop features squared limestone, while the ticket office is constructed of both squared limestone and limestone rubble, with five ashlar quoined and capped buttresses. The barn is made of limestone rubble and has ashlar quoined pilasters. All buildings in this range are topped with limestone slate roofs.

The shop has a flat limestone coping on the left gable end, which includes a roll-cross saddle and a decorative weather vane. The layout forms an 'L' shape, with the shop on the left, the ticket office attached on the right, and the barn extending forward at a right angle to the left. The shop is two storeys high, featuring a flat chamfered stone-mullioned window on the first floor and a double row of pigeon holes to the right. There is a 20th-century stable door with a casement window featuring leaded lights to the right. The ticket office, also two storeys, has a central 20th-century stable door with a casement window above.

The barn includes a niche with a lion's head fountain, which has a circular stone bowl and a rectangular stone trough below. Inside, the shop retains iron corner hay brackets. This property is managed by the National Trust.
