Description

The stables and coachhouses at Westbury House were built in the 18th century, with some minor changes and rear extensions made in the mid-19th century. They are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring blue headers on the north and south walls, and a Flemish Garden Wall bond at the rear. The building has a plinth, first-floor bands on the end blocks, brick dentil eaves, and cambered arches over the windows, topped with a tiled roof.

The symmetrical west front has a central blind arcade that conceals a hay-loft above the stables, consisting of seven bays. The centre features a deep recess with doors on either side leading to the stables and a central door to the tackroom, along with a high door for the loft. Each bay includes a window, and there are Diocletian lights at the top of the second and sixth bays.

Flanking the main structure are tall square towers that appear to be two storeys but actually contain three. Each tower has a ground-floor carriage arch with blank openings beside it, though the south side has been altered. The north tower features a clock face, and its pyramid roof has a leaded dormer at the rear that houses a bell. The mechanism connecting the bell to the clock runs across the top floor within a boarded case. At the rear of the building, there are small 19th-century extensions and additional chimneys.
