Description
The buildings and walls enclosing the stable courtyard at Biddlesden Park House are from the 18th century and are constructed of chequered brick with a slate roof. On the north side, there is a central arch flanked by two semi-circular headed openings that feature moulded stone architraves and keyblocks, with two similar openings above stable doors to the right. Each return also has one of these openings. The courtyard continues around to the south side, which has five arches and two openings on each return, supported by round rendered brick piers.
The central bay is rendered and includes quoins and rusticated square piers, with a blind arcade on the rear wall. The screen wall to the south is made of ashlar and coursed rubble stone, featuring a band course and quoins at the angles, as well as an upper stage in the centre bay. This central bay has a re-fitted pediment adorned with a pine cone and a round window, with a door below that is framed by an architrave surround with a keyblock and a pulvinated frieze topped by a pediment. There are two bricked-in arches on each side, and a rubble stone cross wall leading to the forecourt, which includes an entrance arch.
