29/386 The Stables of Petworth House 22.2.55 II*

Stables. These form a courtyard which is the shape of a triangle. The west wing is the original block. Early C18. Two storeys. Thirteen windows. West front coursed stone, east front stone rubble. Modillion eaves cornice. The centre and the end window-bays project slightly with long and short quoins and pediments over. Horsham slab hipped roof. Round-headed arcading on ground floor with large lunette windows in the heads of the arches. Segmental-headed sash windows above with glazing bars intact but some of them dummies. High round-headed rusticated carriage archway in the centre with keystone over. At the south end of the east front is a projection which comprises coach-houses. The centre one is higher than the others with a pediment over and a lunette window in the tympanum. On each side of this are three lower coachhouses with segmental heads and double doors. The east wing is L-shaped with a curve at its angle. This formed staff accommodation. The oldest portion is probably the south-west wing which is early C19. The remainder is mid C19 and was probably added by Anthony Salvin in 1869-1871. Two storeys. Fifteen windows. Coursed stone, the first floor or the east wall of the south-west wing, facing Park Road, red brick and grey headers. Tiled roof. Narrow sash windows without glazing bars. The outer wall of the south-east angle facing Park Road is curved. At the north end is a tall carriage archway at an angle to block with an octagonal turret which connects the block with the west wing of the Stables.
