Description
The stable block and wall, located 10 metres west of Woolston Grange, is a Grade II listed structure built around 1910, likely designed by Horace Farquharson, who also restored Woolston Grange. The building features a range of facilities including a tackroom with a coachman's room above, stables, and a coach house, all surrounding a stable yard. Constructed from red sandstone random rubble, it is topped with triple Roman tiles and decorative ridge tiles.
The tackroom has a bell cast pyramidal roof and a tall stone stack with a flat top that rises from the eaves. It is two storeys high with a single bay; the first floor has a 2-light leaded casement window, while the ground floor features a 3-light leaded casement window next to plank doors. To the right, the stables are single storey with two bays of 2-light casement windows next to stable doors. The eaves are overhanging and supported by sprockets.
The coach house is gabled and one and a half storeys tall, with a ventilation slit in the gable end above double doors. The abutting wall to the right stands about 2.5 metres high. This picturesque composition, characterized by its bell cast pyramidal roof and tall stack, significantly enhances the street's appearance, lying between Woolston Grange and Manor Farm.
