Stable Block at Steane Park

The stable block at Steane Park is a 17th-century structure built from squared coursed limestone and ironstone, topped with a slate roof. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring ten bays. The north wall includes a carriageway in the left bay with a plain stone arch, and there are irregularly spaced stone mullioned windows with square heads. A prominent bay window, located left of center, has six stone mullioned lights. The south wall contains two doorways with stone flat arched heads, alongside 19th-century windows with wood lintels and iron casements. To the left, there is a gabled projecting wing that is one bay wide, two storeys tall, and has an attic. This wing features a doorway with a flat arched head on the right side, along with 19th-century stone mullioned windows and some original 17th-century three and four-light windows on the left (west side).

Inside, the stable block has a 14-bay roof dating from the late 16th century, likely constructed in two phases. It consists of six arch-braced collar trusses and seven tie-beam trusses with struts and collars. Tall wall posts rest on former first-floor beams, which have been removed except for the wall ends that now serve as corbels. The roof features butt purlins, probably slip tenoned, with convex wind braces and pegged rafters. The five bays over the western end of the range all have arch-braced collars. Additionally, a cottage was incorporated into the existing structure at the western end of the range in the mid to late 19th century, with the first-floor level lowered to provide higher headroom above.
