Description
Courteenhall House stable block, along with attached coach houses, stables, and a barn, dates from the mid-18th century and was altered in the 20th century. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features hipped graded slate roofs. The building is two stories high and has a 15-window range. At the center, there is a round-arched carriage arch with 20th-century double-leaf gates. The ground floor has sash windows with round-arched heads and moulded stone surrounds, while the first floor has square six-pane sash windows with similar moulded stone surrounds. The three central bays project forward and have attics with horizontal oval windows, moulded stone eaves, and pyramidal roofs; the left attic once housed a dovecote. The building also features quoins, a string course at the impost level of the ground floor windows, and a bracketed stone cornice.
To the rear, there are one-storey, three-bay former coach houses with round-headed arches supported by plain limestone ashlar piers. The upper sections are made of coursed squared stone and also have hipped graded slate roofs. The fourth side of the stable yard is occupied by a central barn, which is flanked by lower single-storey three-bay stable wings for working horses. The barn has tall central double-leaf doors at the entrance end, with a blank round-arched head above. The wings feature central six-panel doors with overlights and moulded stone surrounds, alongside stable windows with flat-arched stone heads. The structure has a plinth and moulded stone eaves and is linked to the main block by stone walls with plinth and stone coping.
Inside, the building has been converted into a dwelling. It retains an original open well staircase leading from the ground floor to the attic, featuring a Chinese Chippendale style fretwork balustrade. There are also round-headed stone niches that were part of the former stalls. The stable block is attributed to the architect John Carr of York.
