Entrance Gate And Stables At New Court

The entrance gate and stable block date from 1876 and were designed by Robert William Edis, who also built New Court House in 1877 (though the house itself is not listed). The building is mainly red brick with a red tile roof, and is in a Domestic Revival style. The central section is the most prominent, rising to two stories with a gable and a three-light casement window on the first floor, together with a small slit window to the right. To the left are three high windows on the ground floor, with five slit windows above. A stable loft door is set within a gabled roof on the extreme left, and a louvred turret topped with a pyramid tiled roof and iron weather vane rises from the main roof ridge. A screen wall extends to the right, ending in a gable over a carriageway entrance with a Gothic arch. A heraldic device is displayed in the gable over the archway, and iron spiked gates are present within the gateway. Two tall chimney stacks are on the main building.
