Stable Block At Ashfold School

The stable block at Ashfold School is a former stable building, now used as school rooms. It dates from the 17th century and has been altered in the late 18th century and the 20th century. The north front features red and vitreous brick above a rubble stone plinth with moulded coping. There is a brick parapet with a moulded stone string below it. The left side is constructed of coursed rubble stone, while the courtyard walls are a mix of rubble stone and 20th-century brick. The building has hipped tile roofs and a courtyard plan.

The north front consists of five bays with 20th-century windows in altered openings, and a central ashlar bay that includes a pediment and a depressed arch. An early 20th-century wooden bellcote is situated above this bay. The walls facing the courtyard have some stone cross windows, which are likely re-sited. Each side range features a four-centred stone arched doorway, along with other 20th-century openings. The right side retains some original stabling, and there is a single-storey bay made of stone and brick that now serves as a garage, located to the right of the north front. An additional range is attached to the southeast corner, while a 20th-century brick house attached to the southwest corner is not considered of special interest.
