North West Range, Stables And Steading, Phoineas

This is an early 19th century range forming a large hollow square, originally stables and a steading, now partially converted into dwellings. The building is single-storey with a loft, and is constructed of cherry pointed rubble with tooled and polished ashlar dressings.

The symmetrical southern front has nine bays, with the outer and centre bays slightly projecting. A tall, central round-headed archway leads to an inner courtyard. To the right is an original three-bay dwelling with a central doorway, and to the left, a three-window block. All the windows are set within shallow round-headed ashlar recesses, with small loft windows above, linked by cill bands; the central loft window is smaller. Tall round-headed arches, formerly for carriage houses, are found within the outer bays, some now partially blocked, one containing a multi-pane window, and one with double-leaf garage doors.

The west range has been converted for residential use, featuring a central glazed French window sheltered by a piended verandah supported by a pair of Roman Doric columns, flanked by square-headed windows. The rear (northern) elevation exhibits doorways, slit vents, and loft openings.

Within the courtyard, the entrance to the west wing dwelling includes a door piece with re-used balusters supporting a cornice and flanking windows, some set in former stable doorways. Multi-pane glazing is present throughout, with dummy intersecting glazing simulating that pattern to the south front ground floor windows. The building features corniced and panelled ridge stacks and piended slate roofs. Modern garages are incorporated within the inner courtyard.
