Description
The stables, dating from the early 19th century, were likely designed by Humphrey and John Adey Repton. They are constructed of lias ashlar with an originally slated roof, part of which is now felted. The building follows a courtyard plan. The south facade is symmetrical, dominated by a large central carriage arch featuring a Palladian portico of twin Ionic columns supporting an entablature with a pediment above. Two-storey corner pavilions flank the central arch; the right-hand pavilion has a blind window, and the left is incorporated into the main house. Each pavilion includes an arched recess on the first floor containing a lunette window, and a sash window with a flat arched head on the ground floor. A moulded stone cornice with pyramid roofs tops the pavilions, which are linked by a single-storey range of three double recessed arcades with segmented heads. A corresponding carriage arch is present on the north elevation, featuring a moulded stone cornice, a parapet, and a pyramid roof. The north, east, and west elevations are similar in design but lack the arcading.
