Stables, Hendersyde Park

The stables at Hendersyde Park were built around 1830 by John Smith, with improvements and extensions made in the early 20th century. This structure features a double courtyard layout with mainly single-storey blocks. The main stable block is designed in a U-plan Classical style, showcasing a pedimented basket-arched entrance pend topped with a columned cupola. To the north, there is the former Head Gardener's house that encloses the courtyard, while the western courtyard includes additional stables, kennels, and a groom's cottage.

The principal elevation on the southwest side has seven bays and an entrance pend that is slightly advanced at the center, featuring a hexagonal dome-roofed cupola with an ornate finial. The sides consist of three-bay ranges, with the right side displaying blind fenestration. The inner pediment of the pend features a clock face, and the eastern range contains stables, while the western range has two basket-arched former vehicle sheds that have been filled in with windows. The roof includes louvred timber vents.

The former Head Gardener's house is a two-storey, eight-bay block with a piend roof. It has an advanced off-centre two-bay pedimented gable with an oculus at the apex and gabled dormers on the right side.

In the western courtyard, there is an irregular group of predominantly piend-roofed blocks. This includes a double basket-arched coach house on the eastern side that opens onto the eastern courtyard, stables to the north with louvred ventilators in the roof, kennels to the west, and a pair of single-storey and attic cottages to the south.

The windows feature 4-, 6-, and 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case styles, along with cast iron roof lights, some inset plate glass roof lights, and more modern Velux roof lights on the inner pitches. The building has stone and brick stacks with plain cans, grey slate roofing with lead and aluminium flashings, and painted cast-iron rainwater goods. Square timber and metal louvered ridge ventilators are present as well.

Inside the main block, the stabling area retains some original timber boarded stalls, which have been rearranged, along with plain railings in the southeast corner of the range. The stables are finished in stone and whitewash, and there is a timber boarded tack and drying room with timber doors and stairs. Some rooms still have stone slab floors, while the groom's accommodation has been modernised and features cast iron fireplaces.
