Description
The stables at Kelton House, built in the mid-19th century, are a two-storey structure featuring Classical architectural elements. The building is arranged in an L-plan with two ranges and low walls that create a courtyard. It is constructed of red brick, accented with contrasting yellow brick dressings and a corbelled red ashlar cornice. The openings are segmental-arched.
The east range, which is symmetrical and has five bays, includes a pedimented three-bay centerpiece facing the courtyard. This centerpiece features an arcaded cartshed, panelled clasping pilasters, and a louvred oculus. There are doors and windows in each outer bay at ground level, while the first floor, which was formerly used as the groom's accommodation, has single sash windows with four-pane glazing. The range is topped with symmetrically placed corniced axial stacks.
The south range, which includes a hayloft, is also symmetrical, with three inner bays on the first floor that have two diamond-shaped brick ventilators, flanked by doors at both levels. There is an additional linking bay in the re-entrant angle, and a squat axial ventilator topped with a ball-finialed bell-cast lead roof. The rest of the roof is covered with graded slates. An adjoining low range at the east completes the L-plan, while the courtyard is enclosed to the north by a red brick wall topped with ashlar coping.
