Hunting Stables

The Hunting Stables, built after 1874 by George Devey for Leopold de Rothschild, consist of ranges of stables and lodgings arranged around a courtyard. The northeast range features a former coach-house, while the southeast range has been converted into garages.

The building is constructed of red brick, with whitewashed render and half-timbering on the main gables and the upper parts of the courtyard walls. Some gables are tile-hung above the upper windows, and there are moulded bressumers and bargeboards. The roofs are tiled, and the structure is one and a half to two storeys high. The windows are casement style with moulded wooden mullions.

On the courtyard side, the first-floor windows break through the eaves, with alternate windows featuring gables. There are half-glazed doors, and the doors on the exterior of the southwest range have lean-to tiled hoods with tile-hung sides supported by brackets with turned balusters in the spandrels. The entrance at the southwest corner is framed by brick walls that ramp up to square brick piers topped with octagonal stone caps, flanked by elaborate gables. The left gable includes a two-storey canted bay window with leaded lights, while the right gable showcases half-timbering with arched panels and jetties above and below the upper window.
