The Stables Of Petworth House The Stables Of Petworth House, East Wing

The Stables of Petworth House, located in Petworth, are a Grade II* listed building dating from the early 18th century. These stables form a triangular courtyard, with the west wing being the original structure. The building is two storeys high and features thirteen windows. The west front is made of coursed stone, while the east front consists of stone rubble. It has a modillion eaves cornice, and the center and end window bays project slightly, showcasing long and short quoins and pediments above. The roof is hipped and covered with Horsham slabs.

On the ground floor, there is round-headed arcading with large lunette windows above the arches. The upper floor has segmental-headed sash windows, some of which are dummies, but retain their glazing bars. A prominent round-headed rusticated carriage archway is located centrally, topped with a keystone. At the south end of the east front, there is a projection that contains coach-houses. The central coach-house is taller, featuring a pediment and a lunette window in the tympanum, flanked by three lower coach-houses with segmental heads and double doors.

The east wing is L-shaped with a curved angle, originally serving as staff accommodation. The oldest part is likely the south-west wing, built in the early 19th century, while the rest was added in the mid-19th century, probably by Anthony Salvin between 1869 and 1871. This section is also two storeys high and has fifteen windows. It is constructed of coursed stone, with the first floor of the east wall of the south-west wing facing Park Road made of red brick with grey headers. The roof is tiled, and the narrow sash windows do not have glazing bars. The outer wall at the south-east angle facing Park Road is curved, and at the north end, there is a tall carriage archway at an angle to the block, topped with an octagonal turret that connects the east wing to the west wing of the Stables.
