Main Range to W side of former Stable Courtyard at Downing Hall

Tall 2-storey block to centre, slightly advanced, with flanking lower wings, single-storey uphill to L and 2-storey to R. Constructed of red brick with mostly slate roofs, the R wing roughcast. The central block has a hipped roof and freestone dressings and is shown with bellcote in Moses Griffith's view of 1792. It has a stone segmental-arched entrance partly infilled with brick, with a keystone inscribed 1766, and an impost band which has been continued across the opening to form the lintel of an inserted doorway. Half-glazed door with multi-pane overlight. To the upper storey is a lunette with freestone surround and no glazing. The uphill wing is 5-bay under a corrugated asbestos roof. The 3-bays to the L were altered in the C19 apparently for domestic use; 6-over-6-pane horned sash windows with freestone architraves flank a planked door with cambered brick head, below a blind square panel. To the R is a narrow boarded door and to the far R a 3-light casement window, both with cambered brick heads. There was formerly a barn here, as shown by 3 blocked ventilation slits. No openings to S gable end.

The 4-bay downhill wing, now converted to a house, is roughcast under a slate roof with a roughcast ridge stack offset to L and 3 lateral stacks to the rear. Two-light multi-pane casements to 1st floor. The doorway is to L of centre with a partly-glazed boarded door under a segmental head. Three-light casement window with flat head to L and 2 wide mid-late C20 windows to R. No openings to N gable end.

To the rear of the central bay is a C20 brick lean-to porch with flat roof offset to the L (and adjoining porch to house). The upper storey has a 4-pane window under a cambered brick head, with a 6-over-6-pane sash below with a similar head. Wide blocked opening with segmental brick head to centre of single-storey wing, and joist holes suggesting a former lean-to. Infilled opening to far L, probably to loft. To the rear of the house are 3 windows to the upper storey offset to the R, that to the L a multi-pane 2-light casement, the others late C20. Set below is a C20 brick lean-to porch with flat roof.

Small fireplace, probably C19, in S wall of central block.
