Description
The stables at Terregles House, designed by the architect likely Sir Robert Smirke around 1831, are a single-storey structure with lofts, arranged around a large quadrangular courtyard. The east range is notable for its fine Classical style, featuring a round-arched central pend made of polished red ashlar, while the rest of the building is constructed from rubble.
The east elevation consists of seven bays, with the central and outer bays projecting forward. These are adorned with paired and clasping pilasters that support a continuous entablature. The barrel-vaulted pend has pilastered jambs and a lion keystone. The 12-pane sash windows are architraved and either pedimented or corniced, with pedimented flanks.
The other ranges of the stables are lower, with the northern range featuring a ridge ventilator. There is a rear entrance to the courtyard on the west side, with segmental-arched cart openings (some of which are blocked) and square-headed doors and windows facing the courtyard. The roofs are covered with slate.
