Stable (Garage) Block, Millearne

The stable block at Millearne, likely designed by R & R Dickson, dates from 1824 and 1826, with an extension added to the west in 1852. This well-preserved Tudor Gothic courtyard features single and two-storey structures, complete with battlemented towers, an arched entrance with an oriel window, crowstepped gables, hoodmoulds, and windows that have a tracery effect with transoms and mullions. Distinctive corbelled gablehead finials and stacks, along with segmental-headed cart arches, enhance its character. The materials include ashlar, snecked rubble, and roughly squared quoins, with base, string, and eaves courses.

The outer elevations showcase an entrance range from 1824 on the east, featuring a large archway beneath a broad two-stage tower, a studded door in a four-stage tower to the left, and outer gabled bays. The right bay has a large eight-light window with a tracery effect and a cross finial. The south elevation, which faces the garden, includes a gabled west bay from 1852, adorned with transomed windows, dormer windowheads, and tall polygonal stacks. The north elevation is stepped, gabled, and battlemented, with tracery-effect windows, Tudor-arched doorways, and a two-stage tower that was formerly a dovecote, dated 1826, featuring a crowstepped gable above the wallhead on each face.

In the courtyard, the south range contains five cart arches and a tall, slated, timber pitch-roofed open shed supported by cast iron columns, while the north range has a variety of simple vernacular lean-to structures. Some of the windows feature leaded diamond-pattern and small-pane glazing in timber sash and case styles. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are polygonal, coped ashlar stacks and ashlar-coped skews.

Inside, the first floor of the south range retains some timberwork, including shutters and architraves around the windows, as well as fireplaces and evidence of loose boxes in the north range.
