Stables And Attached House And Granary Approximately 30 Metres North East Of Apethorpe Palace

The stables, attached house, and granary located approximately 30 meters northeast of Apethorpe Palace were built in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries for the palace. The structures are made of squared coursed limestone and feature Collyweston slate roofs, forming an irregular U-shaped plan. They are one and two storeys high, with some parts having attics.

The north range, primarily from the 19th century, includes a central carriage arch that has been enclosed with 20th-century doors. There are two casement windows with stone lintels on the left side of the courtyard elevation, and 20th-century openings on the right. The west range, also mainly from the 19th century, has seven windows facing the courtyard, featuring leaded casements under stone lintels on the ground floor and similar casements under wood lintels on the first floor. There are five hipped eaves dormers on the left side and various plank and 20th-century doors between the window ranges. A central wooden octagonal cupola is present, and the north elevation of this range has a mix of 19th and 20th-century windows.

To the far left, a three-bay stable projects from the main range, featuring a central doorway with a hayloft door above set in a gablet. The south range of the courtyard consists of a 17th-century attached house and granary that is two storeys tall with an attic. This range has two windows and a gabled cross wing to the right, with two- and three-light stone mullion windows and casement windows under wood lintels. A 20th-century door on the right is sheltered by a flat hood, and there is a first-floor door in the cross-wing. A two-storey lean-to is located at the junction of the cross-wing and main range. The buildings feature ashlar gable parapets and an ashlar stack at the ridge. The interiors have not been inspected. These buildings were modified after 1948 when Apethorpe Palace became an approved school.
