Outbuildings And Vehicle Gateway About 5 Metres South Of Seavington House

Outbuildings and a vehicle gateway located about 5 metres south of Seavington House. These structures likely date from the 18th century or early 19th century, with a doorway dated 1855. They are built from ham stone that is cut and squared, with ashlar dressings. The north wing features a shallow pitch roof covered with plain clay tiles, an east gable that is coped with a ball finial, and a hip at the north-west corner. The south range has corrugated iron, which likely replaced thatch, situated between high stepped coped gables. The layout is "L"-shaped and single storey. The north range consists of 7 bays, with 3-light horizontal-bar casement windows in bays 1 and 4, plain doorways in bays 2 and 3, and 3-centre arched openings in bays 5, 6, and 7. Bays 5 and 7 have small-pane windows, while bay 6 features a studded door. There is a similar pair of studded doors at the west end, with 'AHP 1855' inscribed on the 3-centre arch by one of the Poole family. The south wing has 2 boarded openings above and a 20th-century garage door and window below. At the north-west corner of the range, which is slightly rounded, there is a gateway with 2 octagonal pillars that have plain plinths and moulded pointed tops, with a pair of wrought-iron gates between them and a matching small pedestrian gate on the north side. This group of buildings likely served as the stable and coach house for Seavington House.
