Former Stable Block About 70 Metres North Of Highnam Court

The former stable block, located about 70 meters north of Highnam Court, was built in 1808 for Sir B.W. Guise. It originally served as stables and a coach house but is now used as offices and a workshop. The building features plain rendered walls, an ashlar parapet, cast-iron railings, and a slate roof. It is designed in a 'U'-plan around a square courtyard, with semi-circular railings leading to the forecourt.

The structure is two storeys high and includes square ashlar gate piers with a plinth, blind arches on each face, a moulded cornice, and panelled corner blocks with crenellations in between, although the gates are missing. The railings on each side sit on a stone cap atop a low brick wall and sweep back to the wings of the stable block, which have plain ends.

On the left side of the courtyard, the ground floor features six blind alternating narrow and wide semi-circular arches with plain stone impost blocks. The narrow arches contain inset boarded doors with semi-circular cast-iron fanlights, while the wide arches have semi-circular cast-iron windows with stone sills. There is a wide boarded door at the end opening. The main cross block has paired double boarded doors with cambered heads on each side, a 3-light window with a cambered head in the center, and a 4-panelled door to the right.

The right return mirrors the left with four arches, although the front arch is blind, and there are paired double doors on the right. The first floor features a plain stone string course, with six semi-circular arches on the wings and five on the center block, all with inset cast-iron windows, except for the right wing, which has inset 3-light wooden casements.

Above, there is a crenellated parapet with a moulded string course and a hipped roof. The center of the cross wing rises as a turret with a clock face and a low pyramid roof behind the crenellations, topped with a weathervane. This building forms a group with Highnam Court and the nearby church.
