The Stable Block, With Flats, Coach House And Clock Turret

The stable block, which includes flats, a coach house, and a clock turret, dates from the late 19th century and is associated with a large house. It is constructed from local stone coursed rubble with brick dressings and features plain clay tile roofs with bargeboarded gables and brick chimney stacks. The building has an open rectangular plan around a sett-paved courtyard, with the entrance located through a gap in the east corner. Most of the structure is two stories high, with 16-pane sash windows set in brick surrounds. The first-floor windows are located within the bargeboarded gables, except for those in the centre of the northeast and southwest ranges, where they are set in projecting gables that are two bays wide.

There is a variety of doors, including plain boarded doors leading to the living quarters in the northwest range and matching coach house/garage doors in the northeast range. The southwest range features wide double doors with a fanlight set into a segmental arch; this range serves as the stable block and is primarily one story tall with a high roof and a continuous glazed ridgelight at attic height, resembling a corridor. A clock turret, made of timber with plaster panels, is located at the gable of the northeast range, topped with a hipped slated roof and crowned with lead and a weathervane. This building is a progressive and attractive example of architecture that foreshadows the Edwardian style and remains relatively unaltered. It is part of a large estate that includes many notable features, although the main house, built in 1881, is of lesser interest and is not listed.
