The Old Stables, With Clock Tower And Wall Adjoining Norton Conyers House

The Old Stables, with clock tower and wall adjoining Norton Conyers House, are 17th and 18th century stables that have been converted into outbuildings. The structure is built of roughcast brick and features a brick and stone rubble wall. It has a Westmorland slate roof and stone slates. The building is a long single-storey range with five bays, including a two-storey bay with an outshut on the right. A wall projects from the two-storey bay, linking the clock tower to the house.

The single-storey range has wooden garage doors to the left and two narrower plank doors to the right and center. There are five Yorkshire sash windows, most with leaded lights, and two unequally hung sashes with nine panes in flush wood architraves to the right. Above the windows, there is a stone band, and the roof features two short brick stacks on the ridge. The two-storey bay has a plank door with a rectangular two-light window above it, along with a wooden cross-window above. The stone band above the ground floor window continues from the single-storey range. The gable has ashlar coping with shaped kneelers and a Westmorland slate roof, along with a brick chimney at the rear left corner.

Above the building, there is a wooden cupola with a square base that houses a clock and a circular bell tower, supported by columns and topped with a domed roof and finial. The adjoining wall is approximately six meters high, rendered on the south face with ashlar coping, and features a narrow, flat-arched opening. To the right of the wall, there is an outshut that abuts the right return of the clock tower; this single-storey structure has ashlar coping that carries lead urns decorated with masks and pineapple finials. The single-storey range continues to the left around the north side of the yard as a facade only, terminating with a weathered ashlar gate pier composed of a base with balusters that support the remains of two Corinthian columns, topped with a plain pediment and cornice.
