Former Coach House And Stables Adjoining Escrick Park To Rear Right

The former coach house and stables, now part of Queen Margaret's School, were built in 1763 with later additions and alterations, including changes from the mid to late 20th century. Designed by John Carr for Beilby Thompson, the building features pinkish-brown brick with red brick and ashlar dressings, and the front facade is cement rendered. It has a Welsh slate roof and is square in plan, surrounding a central open courtyard.

The structure is two storeys high with nine bays, where the central three bays project slightly. A plinth runs along the base. The entrance has been moved to the side; the central entrance originally featured a 12-pane sash window with radial glazing at the top and plank infill below, set within a recessed arch with a moulded ashlar head. Similar recessed arches are found at the second and eighth bays. The windows are primarily 15-pane sashes with radial glazing, except for the ninth bay, which has a shallower, blind opening, all with ashlar sills. A continuous impost band runs along the building.

On the second storey, there are 6-pane sashes with ashlar sills. The building is topped with an ashlar dentil cornice and a dentil pediment above the central bays, which contains a clock and is crowned by an ashlar peristyle of Doric columns on a plinth, topped with a domed lead roof. The roof is hipped with ridge and rear stacks. The returns feature a single tall storey with nine bays. The right return has an elliptically-arched entrance with 20th-century glazed doors, retaining an overlight with decorative glazing bars. The tall arches on this side have red rubbed brick heads and now feature 20th-century sashes. The left return has two slightly projecting pedimented bays.
