No. 23 (Stanley Park Lodge) With Archway No. 24 (The Clock House)No. 25 (Stable Cottage), The Stirrups And Nos 9 And 10

No. 23 (Stanley Park Lodge) with the attached archway, No. 24 (The Clock House), No. 25 (Stable Cottage), The Stirrups, and Nos. 9 and 10 form a complex of buildings incorporating a dovecote and house, former stables, a coach-house, and a lodge, dating from the 17th century to the 19th century. The dovecote and house were originally built in 1692 for John Jeffreys, with the lodge added in 1852 by Joseph Franklin and the coach-house in 1872 for S.S. Marling.

The buildings are constructed from coursed rubble and ashlar limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. The dovecote tower is attached to a single-storey house with an attic that extends northeast (Nos. 25 and 24). A two-storey lodge is attached to the southeast corner (No. 23), linked by an archway to the south. A single-storey with attic range runs northwest from the dovecote tower (The Stirrups), and a tall octagonal stair tower links The Stirrups to the coach-house. The coach-house and The Stirrups are situated on two adjacent sides of a courtyard.

The dovecote tower has a parapet gable on three sides, each containing an oval window dated 1692. The roof is hipped on the southwest side, linking with The Stirrups, and topped with a small cross-gabled timber cupola, featuring a ball finial and iron weathervane. The house range to the northwest has a parapet gable to the left with a two-light mullioned casement and hood to the attic, also dated 1692. Various lean-to additions to the ground floor contain mullioned windows and a doorway with a projecting stone hood on brackets. A cluster of five ridge-mounted chimney shafts is present. The southeast side of the range has a parapet gable dated 1692, but it is apparently much altered in the 19th century. Two parapet-gabled attic dormers with three-light casements, each with Tudor-arched heads, are located to the right. The northeast end of the range has a gable with a two-light upper-floor casement dated 1692, appearing largely 19th century. An octagonal clock face is set within a gable, with a gabled timber hood. An angled corner bay window to the lodge is set at 45 degrees, with a coped top, and a 19th-century parapet gable to the left. The attached archway has a moulded Tudor head and weathered top coping, similar to a nearby gateway. The Stirrups displays largely 19th or 20th-century mullioned fenestration. The tall octagonal stair tower linking The Stirrups to the coach-house features a spire incorporating a small belfry. Square-headed doorways with pointed-arched recesses above and machicolated gablets over each set at 45 degrees to the courtyard, one inscribed “SSM 1872.” The coach-house has six segmental-arched openings facing the stable courtyard, originally supporting a canopy via projecting timber brackets. Three parapet-gabled dormers now serve flats, the central one featuring three stepped lights. The ends of the coach-house have moulded gable-mounted chimneys. The northwest side of the coach-house features a buttressed wall with mullioned iron casements and dormers. An altered range on the opposite side of the courtyard is not of special architectural merit. The spire and irregular roof line contribute to the collection of turrets and pinnacles at Stanley Park.
