Description

The Stables, The Coach House, Hakewill Hall and attached railings form a group of buildings, originally constructed to serve Dingley Hall. The complex is said to date from 1790 and was designed by Henry Hakewill. It comprises three linked blocks forming three sides of a courtyard.

The central block is a two-storey coach house with a three-window front, featuring sash windows with glazing bars and stone heads. A limestone band separates the floors, and the building has plain panelled limestone pilasters at the corners. The roof is gabled, with oversailing eaves and a dentilled cornice. A wooden cupola sits centrally, displaying a clock face and a weathervane, and small stone stacks are located at each end.

Flanking wings, originally the stables and later containing a hayloft above, are single-storey structures. Each wing has five bays, with the central bay projecting forward and topped by an open Tuscan pediment supported by plain limestone pilasters. The central openings now have 20th-century doors and partial glazing, while arch-headed openings above, formerly to the haylofts, are glazed. Lunettes with glazing bars and limestone surrounds are positioned to either side of the central bays, and circular windows to the former hayloft also have limestone surrounds. The roofs are hipped with oversailing eaves supported by moulded wood brackets.

A central rear extension, described as Hakewill Hall, has a gable treated as an open pediment. A building to the rear of The Stables, in a similar style, was formerly the laundry. Cast iron railings enclose the fourth side of the courtyard and are attached to the left and right of Hakewill Hall and The Stables. The interior of The Stables retains some original loosebox fittings.
