Southern Range, Stable Court, Stenton House

The gatepiers at Stenton House date back to 1783 and were originally a two-storey manse that was extended and given an arcaded facade in 1820. The building features a pink sandstone ashlar frontage with rubble construction elsewhere, including base and band courses and a cornice.

On the northwest elevation, which was altered in 1820, there are five bays. A mid-19th century gabled porch is attached to the second bay from the left, featuring a round-arched window above the front door on the southwest return. The gablet has skews and ball finials. The remaining bays have regular windows on both the ground and first floors, with a round-arched arcade of panels, although one window is partly blocked by the porch. The outer right bay has a single-storey, slightly recessed lean-to made of rubble, topped with a coped and segmental parapet. The word "Dairy" is incised above the ground floor window of the outer left bay.

The southeast elevation is irregular, with four bays of the original house to the left, along with a piend-roofed, rectangular-plan stair block, likely from 1820, set in a re-entrant angle with an advanced extension to the right. The left side features three bays with regular windows on each floor, while the piend-roofed extension has one ground floor window and one central first floor window. There is also a single-storey bay to the outer left, detailed similarly.

The northeast elevation has three irregular openings from 1820. The southwest elevation includes a lean-to addition at ground level with modern conservatory windows, a first-floor window to the left, and a central attic window in the gablehead. The sash and case windows feature 12-pane and 4-pane glazing patterns, and the roof is covered with purple slates. Ashlar stacks are present.

The stable courts consist of a simple rectangular enclosure with coped rubble boundary walls and stugged square ashlar gatepiers located to the southeast of the house. There have been alterations at the northern angle, but two stable doors are still retained, along with pigsty enclosures adjoining the southeast. The southeast side has a piend roof, with three stable doors, one cart door, and windows. The court is cement cobbled.

Inside the stable courts, timber stalls, a wrought-iron hay basket, and stone flagging are retained in the southeast row. The retaining walls and gatepiers are made of rubble, with square gatepiers to the north.
