Description

The Stable Block at Jardine Hall, possibly designed by James Gillespie Graham, dates back to 1825 as indicated on a pennon. This large quadrangular stable block features a classical west front with a prominent clock tower above the central pend. The building underwent alterations in 1896, likely by E J May, which probably included the rebuilding of the north and east ranges, along with some minor works in 1899, as noted by the date on the clock face in the courtyard.

Constructed mainly of red rubble, the west front showcases pedimented gables, pavilions, and dressings made of ashlar. The arches from 1896 feature dropped keystones, and the roofs are covered with graded slates. The west elevation has a rusticated base up to the cill band level. The tall central round-arched and pilastered pend is topped by a square clock stage with columned angles, a drum featuring circular openings that may have served as a dovecot, and a ribbed dome with a weathervane finial.

Flanking the pend are single-storey wings with round-arched windows that are blind, accompanied by glazed arches. The pedimented two-storey pavilions on either side have tripartite windows. Both the north and south ranges have a tall pedimented central bay, with round-arched openings in the latter range and a cast-iron columned shelter, likely from 1896, leading to the courtyard. The tall two-storey east range includes a pend at the northern end.
