Stable Block, Bogangreen, Coldingham

Bogangreen House is a later 18th-century classical mansion with associated stable block, walled garden, and boundary structures, all of which are included in this listing.

The main house is a symmetrical 3-storey, 3-bay, rectangular-plan building harled with cream sandstone ashlar dressings. It features a base course, lintel course, corniced eaves and blocking course to the front elevation, with rusticated quoins to the front and narrow quoin strips to the rear. Plain margins and projecting cills run throughout. A single-storey service wing extends to the rear.

The entrance elevation presents the principal classical features. A part-glazed, 2-leaf timber panelled door is centred at ground level, topped with a batwing fanlight and a doorpiece with engaged Tuscan columns and dentilled pediment. Single windows flank the entrance at ground level. The first floor has a single centred window, with pilastered and corniced tripartite windows (formerly Venetian) in the flanking bays. The second floor displays squat single windows in all bays, whilst a blind thermal window occupies the central wallhead pediment.

The side elevations show the principal block with a blind elevation to the north, whilst the rear elevation features a large round-arched stair window at the centre of the principal block, with single windows at various levels to the left and right. The service wing projects to the rear with a gabled end, and a modern lean-to carport adjoins to the right.

The roof is grey slate with a piended form. Harled, corniced and shouldered wallhead stacks sit to the north and south, with various circular cans for ventilation.

Windows throughout are plate glass with 6- and 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames.

The interior preserves significant period features, including timber panelled doors and shutters throughout. Three timber and composition chimneypieces remain, with decorative plaster cornices and roses adorning the ceilings; the drawing room cornice retains its original colour scheme. A timber staircase with balustrade and handrail rises through the house. The dining and drawing rooms feature dado panelling, and the dining room has original shaped shelves to its presses.

The stable block is a single-storey structure with attic space, built of heavily-pointed rubble with tooled rubble dressings, incorporated within the north wall of the walled garden. Its entrance elevation to the north displays two cart openings at ground level—the outer right segmental-arched—and two pedestrian doors and two windows to the left. A piended hayloft opening breaks the eaves, offset to the left of centre. The stable block is roofed in grey slate with ridge ventilators.

The walled garden forms a near square-plan enclosure of approximately 1,600 square metres to the south-west of the house. Its heavily-pointed, coped rubble walls stand approximately 15 feet high in places and contain the site, though no remains of a formal layout survive.

Boundary walls of rubble partially enclose the site, with arched coping to quadrant walls flanking the entrance to the south. Pyramidal-capped, square-plan sandstone gatepiers mark the entrance, with a hooped iron gate between them.

The property is documented in the Ordnance Survey Name Book (1856–1858) as "a neat and substantial farm house, pleasantly situated, having a neat walled garden and offices attached." The house represents a well-detailed, essentially intact example of its late 18th-century classical type. The columnar doorpiece and the large stair opening at the rear are features of particular note. The survival of the stable block, walled garden, and boundary walls enhances the significance of the site as a complete ensemble. Reinstatement of the correct Venetian window form would restore its full classical dignity.
