Stable and coach house at Iscoyd Park

This is a large, L-shaped stable and coach house complex, dating to the 18th century, serving Iscoyd Park. The earliest sections consist of two ranges placed end-to-end, facing the service yard of the main house. The buildings are constructed of brick with slate roofs, sawtooth eaves, and gables featuring moulded kneelers and coped verges.

The coach house, located at the southeastern end, is taller and features three elliptical carriage openings, each topped with a keystone and leading to double doors with strap hinges. To the right of the carriage openings is a panel door, providing access to loose boxes, and a yard wall (listed separately). Further along, there are two small-pane cross windows. The loft above has blind openings arranged in groups of three and two, mirroring the openings below.

The lower stable block is set slightly back at the northwest end and incorporates a plat band. An asymmetrical elliptical passage arch is centrally situated, leading to a passage with double-boarded gates and strap hinges. To the left of the passage are two segmental-headed casements with two lights in the lower storey, and square-headed casements above it. To the right, there are two shuttered openings with small-pane overlights, a split-boarded door with a three-pane overlight, and three blind windows. Attached to the left end are double-boarded gates leading to a stock yard. The gable end has three stepped diamond-pattern breather vents in the loft.

The rear wing is divided into three sections. The first section, now offices, has lower eaves than the main stable and features a segmental-headed double doorway with a keystone dated 1878 and boarded doors. To its left is a similar single door, and to the right end, a small segmental-headed window. The section also has two loft pitching eyes that have been glazed, and X-pattern and diamond-pattern breather vents on the left side. Set back to the left is a former mill, with a boarded door and a large infilled opening. A lower range, likely a cow shed, is further to the left, featuring a wide, full-height opening and a gabled bay at its left end.

At the rear, the coach house and loose boxes have replacement loft glazing. The rear of the main stable block, to the left of the passage, includes an added lean-to stable with three split doors and three small-pane iron-frame windows. The rear wing’s elevation facing the stable yard has been partly rebuilt and incorporates two segmental-headed boarded doors and X-pattern and diamond-pattern breather vents. The mill has a split-boarded door and two external wheels, which would have been connected to a portable engine via belt drives.

Inside the coach house, the main doorway opens to a lobby with a straight staircase leading to the loft. To the right of the lobby is a boarded door, concealed behind a fretwork Renaissance-style wooden panel, leading to two loose boxes. These retain their original boarded sliding doors surmounted by iron bars.
