Description

The stable block at Hughenden Manor, now serving as garages, a shop, and a dwelling, is accompanied by walls that once surrounded the kitchen garden to the east. Built in the late 19th century, likely by E.B. Lamb, the stable block features red brick construction with hipped slate roofs. The layout is arranged around a courtyard, with a two-storey house at the northern end, a five-bay coach-house to the west, garages to the east, and a gatehouse to the south.

The house includes irregular sash windows and a central archway. The coach-house has a central gabled loft entry, while the more ornate gatehouse boasts a stepped parapet with brick cogging, stone coping, and a central ogee finial. Below the gatehouse is an offset and dentilled cornice. The central wooden gates are shaped and set within a double chamfered segmental arch featuring a keyblock. The flanking bays are slightly recessed and contain single lights with keyblocks and pendants.

To the right, a brick garden wall steps down in three stages to a gateway at an angle. This gateway mirrors the stepped parapet of the gatehouse and includes double gates set within a segmental arch of two orders. Additionally, there is a re-sited stone sundial dated 1749, and the remainder of the wall is constructed from flint and brick.
