Coachhouse And Stables, Spott House

Groom's House, Coachhouse, and Stables at Spott House date from 1856 and form a U-plan stable court that opens to the west. The buildings are constructed from red rubble sandstone with stugged ashlar dressings and feature chamfered arrises on some openings. The yard is cobbled.

The eastern range consists of five bays facing the courtyard, with a prominent wide gabled bay at the center. This bay is accessed through a deep segmental carriage arch, which has a clock in a square panel and a date stone above it. A bell-cote at the apex displays a decorative weathervane. There are two doors in the flanking bays, with a stable door on the outer right and a louvred window on the outer left, both featuring louvred openings above. The rear elevation is blank but has a wide opening at the southern end.

The northern range is the shortest, retaining rusticated quoins at the southwest corner from a pre-1856 building. It has three bays facing the courtyard, with a central doorway and a gabled hayloft door that breaks the eaves above. Stone mullioned bipartite windows flank the ground level, and there are two lower gabled bays on the outer left, each with a door and a window.

The southern range consists of three blocks that step down to the west. It features a wide inserted door in the tallest block and louvred ventilators under the eaves. The center block has a segmentally arched carriage arch, with a decorative weathervane on the west gable, while the end block is slightly recessed. The rear elevation displays a variety of openings, including boarded doors, crowstepped gables, beak skewputts, and grey slate roofing.

The Groom's House, built around 1856, is a single-storey and attic, three-bay L-plan cottage linked to the eastern end of the southern range. It has a gabled ashlar porch at the center of the west elevation and gabled dormerheads on the outer bays. The cottage is adjoined to a single-storey and basement block to the north, which projects to the west. It is made of red rubble sandstone with grey ashlar dressings and chamfered arrises on the openings. The west front of the cottage features a parapet retaining wall. The windows have a four-pane glazing pattern, and the roof is covered with grey slates, featuring gable end stacks, crowstepped gables, and beak skewputts.
