Description

This is a range of outbuildings located to the north of Lowton Manor, along with walls that enclose the garden, which return to the south-east corner of the house. The buildings date from the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century and extensions added to the rear in the 20th century. Constructed from chert stone rubble, the outbuildings feature a hipped slate roof and a brick stack to the right of the coach house.

The layout consists of a long range of buildings that form the north side of the courtyard at the entrance front of Lowton Manor. This range continues to form the north wall of the garden on the east front of the house, with a wall that returns to the south-east corner. The structure is single storey with four bays to the left of the carriageway entrance, which is unlit to the right. It includes a segmental-headed coach house entrance, a stable door to the right, and two semi-circular headed windows beyond. The impressive four-bay carriageway entrance features shouldered posts and nesting boxes under the eaves, with entrances to lofts on the returns. The right-hand range is unlit on the garden front. Additionally, there is a random rubble chert wall that encloses the garden. This group of buildings forms a cohesive unit with Lowton Manor.
