Description

These former stables, now houses and sheltered flats, form part of Goldsborough Hall. They date from the mid to late 18th century, with a conversion around 1980. They were likely designed by John Carr for Daniel Lascelles. The buildings are constructed with a limestone plinth and red/brown brick in English bond, topped with a pantile roof, with the two lowest courses in flagstone.

The complex consists of two long ranges along the roadside, each two storeys high. These have a central carriage arch and flanking four-bay wings, creating an E-shaped plan due to rear extensions from the centre and ends. Stansfield Court, on the left, features a rear courtyard enclosed by a low boundary wall on its south side.

The left range (Stansfield Court) has a round arch in a slightly projecting central bay, constructed with ashlar voussoirs and quoins, along with a moulded string and an oculus above. The flanking wings incorporate 20th-century sash windows and raised eaves. A pyramidal roof tops the central bay, while the wings have hipped roofs.

The right range (Goldsborough Hall Cottages) has a plain brick round arch with an oculus above. The flanking wings have paired 20th-century six-panel doors and 20th-century windows. They are capped with hipped roofs. The rear elevations feature 20th-century doors and windows, largely in new openings.

The rear courtyard wall and piers of Stansfield Court are constructed of brick in English bond with ashlar dressings. The wall is approximately 1.5 metres high, with flat coping. Piers flanking the central opening (opposite the carriage arch) are of ashlar with brick panels and are topped with ball and cushion finials. The facade of the stables range is similar to that of the north barn at Plompton Hall Farm, where John Carr also worked.
