Ebworth Farm With Stable And Coach House

PAINSWICK SO 81 SE 2/3 Ebworth Farm with stable and coach house II Farmhouse attached to earlier stables and coach house. C16, C18 and C19. Large blocks squared limestone in part, normal coursed and squared elsewhere, concrete tile roof. The long stable and coach building lies at the higher level and is in part much earlier than the farmhouse which lies much lower, the whole being across a steep slope. The 1850 house lies parallel with the service block, is 3-storey, has a 3 storey porch and a low wing; windows mainly C20, the wing has a 2-light window with arched lights, and an octagonal stack. The upper block is in 2 storeys. Far left are two broad openings with elliptical arches with raised band and keystone, on small pilasters with imposts; to the right of these, under a continuous moulded string, a round-arched through way, two 3- light mullioned casements with arched lights, and a plank door in flush stone surround and elliptical head. Extreme right is a further 3-light and elliptical-headed opening with plank door, again under a moulded string. This work is probably of the C16. There is a cored stone eaves cornice, above which four flush gables both with 2-light mullioned casements and stopped hood, as windows below, one with a large shouldered C19 loading opening, under a small single light with stopped hood. There is a slight offset plinth. Right return has a 2-light C18 recessed ovolo mould mullioned casement under stopped hood, below which was a doorway, now blocked. Decorative barge-board and signs here of roof being raised. Stables have stone floors and good stall dividers; one part also with hay loft. Important survival belonging to Ebworth Lane, demolished late C20.
