Stable Block East Of Eden School

The stable block east of Eden School, originally built as a stable for Rickerby House, dates from the late 18th century. It features Flemish bond brick walls and a graduated slate roof. The building is two storeys high with five bays, and there is a three-bay wing facing the stable yard. The stone mullioned window surrounds are chamfered, with pointed arches and hood mouldings on the ground floor. The entrance has a moulded and chamfered surround with a pointed arch and a diamond-paned fanlight. The windows are fitted with cast-iron diamond-paned casements.

At the north-west corner, there is a hexagonal clock tower with slit windows and a castellated parapet, which was rebuilt in 1982 using 20th-century brick due to a structural defect. On the north face, two hexagonal gate towers flank a filled entrance arch. A large tower at the rear of the stable yard on the east wall features crow-stepped gables, a corbelled-out upper storey, and oversailing brickwork at the corners. The listing also includes a short castellated wall attached to the north-east corner of the building, extending to Holme Farm.
