Logan Court

Logan Court

Possibly designed by David Bryce, circa 1874. A simple Baronial style building comprising an L-plan former stable block with associated structures. The complex includes a coach house in the western range, a two-storey former coachman's house to the east (extended eastward circa 1915), and single-storey stables with loft, now converted to domestic use. The buildings are harled with red sandstone ashlar dressings to margins and quoin strips, featuring chamfered margins that stop before the cill.

The southern elevation displays an asymmetrical arrangement of eight bays. An advanced gabled bay with shouldered profile stands left of centre, featuring a basket-arched pend entrance with rusticated quoins and a modern recessed domestic entrance within. Two windows serve the attic above, with a blocked oculus in the gablehead and conical-roofed pepperpot turrets terminating crowstepped skews. Doors occupy the outer bays to right and left, with windows in the remaining bays (smaller in the penultimate bay to the left). Gabled loft doors break the eaves above the third bay from the right and above the penultimate bay to the left. The two-storey house to the right has a crowstepped lop-sided gable with windows to left and outer right at ground floor, and two windows to left and one to right at first floor.

The western range contains the former coach house, featuring four flat-arched carriage arches to the east, each fitted with two-leaf boarded doors. A corrugated metal roof projects over the courtyard on cast-iron columns.

The eastern elevation has a door right of centre, with a window to right and two windows to left at ground floor. Three windows occupy the first floor, each with a gabled dormerhead raised above the eaves.

The northern elevation is complex, with a crowstepped lop-sided gable advanced to the left containing windows to both floors on the left side and a window to the right at ground floor to the north. A lean-to adjoins to the west return, with a window to north and west, and dormerheaded and regular windows to the first floor of the west return. An advanced gable at centre has a bipartite window at ground floor and two windows at first floor to the north, with small windows to the left to the east return and to the right to the west return. A lean-to adjoins between the left and centre bays with a door and flanking windows. A long lean-to adjoins to the right, with door and flanking windows to the left and a machinery door to the right.

The western elevation features a gable to the left with a machinery door to left, a window to right, and a loft door in the gablehead. Four windows occupy the right section.

Windows throughout are fitted with 8-, 12-, and 16-pane sash and case glazing. Roofing details include ashlar crowsteps with skewputts and coped skews with skewends. Ashlar-dressed coped stacks serve various ranges, including a gablehead stack to the north and ridge stacks to the east and north ranges. A wallhead stack stands to the left of the north elevation. Small grey slates cover the roofs, with three pyramidal-roofed metal ventilators positioned along the ridge of the north range. Cast-iron rainwater goods and decorative cast-iron finials adorn the turrets and ventilators.

The courtyard is enclosed on its south and east sides by saddleback-coped harled walls. A pair of ashlar corniced square gatepiers with adjoined low walls stands to the east. The courtyard surface is laid with small cobbles.

An outhouse occupies the southeast angle of the courtyard. It features a turret to the east with a door to the courtyard to the north and a slit window to the east. The turret has a finialled conical roof with swept eaves and an ashlar eaves course. A small ashlar block clasping the turret adjoins to the wall to the south, with a door to the north and a wallhead stack to the south.
