Flanking Stable at Pennant

Flanking Stable at Pennant is a brick building with slate roofs and brick end wall stacks, dating back to the mid-18th century, with later additions. The building connects to the main house and laundry/stable pavilion blocks via brick walls, likely added during a remodelling in the early 19th century. The stable itself includes paired, segmentally arched doorways facing the house, and high-set windows in the gable. It retains its original stall dividers.

The laundry pavilion features cast-iron mullioned and transomed windows on each floor in the gable, and a similar window and doorway on the side facing the house. The main house has a shallow front range with three rear wings. The front elevation has three storeys and five bays, with a slightly projecting central bay. The central entrance features glazed doors and a finely gauged brick head with a moulded entablature hood. Windows are mostly 12-pane sashes (with 6-pane sashes to the attic storey), and have finely gauged brick heads with stressed keys. The storeys are articulated by unmoulded projecting string courses, with the lower storey emphasised by brick quoins to the outer angles and the central bay. Plain pilasters are present in the upper storey.

The southwest wing is largely from the mid-18th century, although the upper storey is later. It includes paired 12-pane sash windows of diminishing width to the lower storeys, and 6-pane sashes to the attic. The northeast wing features a cast-iron mullioned and transomed window in the rear gable, with sash windows above. A rear bay may incorporate part of an earlier structure due to the presence of stonework.

The interior is planned around a central entrance and stair hall, with principal rooms in the front range and southwest wing. Most interior details are from the early 19th century, including panelled doors with rebates, window shutters, simple plaster cornices (with egg and dart and beading), marble fireplace surrounds, and decorative cast iron grates. One upper room retains mid-18th century ceiling plasterwork, featuring a moulded central octagon with a relief design including a branch, a fish, a bird, and a sun. The staircase, located to the rear of the entrance hall, is also from the mid-18th century and is characterized by alternately twisted and fluted balusters (two per tread), moulded tread ends, a swept rail, and dado panelling.
