Dillington Arts Centre

Dillington Arts Centre is a theatre and arts centre that was originally built as stables for Dillington House. It dates from the 18th century or early 19th century and was remodeled in 1875 and again in the mid-20th century. The building features a stone ashlar front on the south side, while the rest is made of roughly squared rubble. It has a Welsh slate roof with serrated ridges, mostly hipped, and includes some ashlar chimney stacks. The structure is arranged in a quadrangle form, with the entrance located on the south side. It is primarily a single-storey building, except for the east range, which is two-storey with a basement due to its hillside setting.

The south elevation has five bays, all from the 1875 remodeling, featuring a plinth, cornice molding, a plain parapet, and rusticated quoins. The outer pairs of bays have 2-light cruciform panels, with the tops glazed. The central bay is distinguished by a large non-classical semi-circular arch with an entablature and a pediment above, which includes a keystone dated with intertwined initials HV/IV. There are mounting blocks at the base of each jamb.

The east elevation is three-storey with three bays, including a single bay set at mid-level at the south end. The ground floor has segmental-arched openings, while the first floor features 30-pane sash windows. The second floor has 12-and 16-pane sashes in gabled dormers. The inner courtyard includes three large segmental arches with boarded doors on the north side. The east side has three bays, featuring two 20-pane sash windows in keystoned arches below and 12-pane sashes in gables above, with a central doorway that has an eared architrave and a pediment on console brackets. The west side matches the ground floor of the east side. In the center of the courtyard, there is a 20th-century ornamental pool. The interior was reshaped around 1960. This building holds significant group value with the nearby Dillington House.
