Description
This is a late 17th and early to mid-18th century coach house and stables, now converted into two dwellings with garages, along with a linking wall and attached mounting block. Originally part of the estate of Holme Hall, it formed the stable block. The buildings are constructed of coursed limestone with ashlar sandstone dressings and have stone slate roofs.
The eastern range, likely dating from the early to mid-18th century and named Holme Grange, features large quoins, a broad central doorway with quoins and a keystone, and ashlar surrounds to the 2/2 sash windows. A first-floor band, eaves band, and moulded cornice run along the top, with ashlar gable copings and a weather-vane at the right end. A dovecote is set into the gable head on the right return, featuring a round-arched panel with multiple holes. An ashlar stack is situated between bays 1 and 2. External stone steps lead to a gable doorway on the left return.
The western range, probably dating from the late 17th century, served as outbuildings to Holme Grange and is now partially The Mews Cottage. It has large quoins; three quoined doorways to the left (the central one originally having a boarded door, now windows), and two square hatch openings, one of which is now a window. To the right of the ground floor are three linked basket arches, each with double doors. The left-hand arch has a corbelled springer and raised keystone. A dated lead hopper from 1847 is present, along with an eaves cornice and gable copings.
The interior of the eastern range has principal-rafter trusses with diagonal struts and collars. The rear features a bricked-up central doorway, two rows of blocked slit vents, and various inserted windows.
The linking wall rises above the first-floor band of Holme Grange and features rounded steps leading to a central round-arched doorway with ashlar panel and moulded imposts. The wall has copings above, surmounted by a round-arched bellcote with a finial. An ashlar mounting block is attached to the right with four steps on each side leading to a nosed platform above a round-arched dog kennel.
