Description

The building is a former stables and coach-house, now serving as a garage yard and gallery. It is a two-storey structure made of rendered brick, originally L-shaped and later extended to form a T shape, enclosing two sides of a cobbled courtyard to the south. The roofs are shallow and hipped, covered with slate, and feature plain brick stacks—one on the southwest range and two on the southeast.

The southeast face was originally symmetrical, with a central three-bay entrance block that has an advanced open pediment. It includes three one-and-a-half storey recessed arches with plain tympana and tripartite stone keys. There are two openings on the left with large plain double doors. The left bay was blocked in the mid-19th century and now features a 12-pane recessed window and a door to the right, also recessed. A modern door with a three-pane rectangular fan is present. Above each arch, there is a squat 8-pane casement window. To the left and right of the central range, there is a central door with 12-pane sashes flanked by similar windows. Above these are two 9-pane sashes.

The modern single-storey southwest range is divided into three sections and features a pediment with a blind oculus. The door and window arrangement is similar to the central range. The left part of the central section and the entire left section on the ground floor have been rebuilt as modern garages, with 20th-century wooden sliding doors and a corrugated iron car-port attached in front. A plain stone string-course runs along both ranges between the first and ground floors.

The rear of the southwest range is nearly symmetrical, with a pediment and irregular fenestration on the first floor, all of which are later replacements. There is an attached wing to the left, forming one arm of the T, which has a hipped roof and dentilated eaves, with later fenestration and doors.

This building is an interesting and restrained service complex that likely served the 18th-century house and is probably designed by Samuel Turner. It has group value with the New Castle and the kitchen garden walls.
