Description
The Stable Block of Middleton Hall is a two-storey building designed in a symmetrical neo-Classical style, featuring a prominent pedimented centerpiece above the entrance. It has crosswings at each end that project slightly at the front and more boldly at the rear. The rear of the main block includes a lean-to roof supported by an arcade that connects the wings. The exterior is finished with rendered and whitened stonework, low-pitch slate roofs with metal ridges, and brick chimneys positioned near the junction with each wing, along with a single chimney at the rear of each wing.
The front elevation showcases a well-composed architectural design consisting of five sections. Above the entrance arch, there is a small high pediment set forward from and above two half-pediments that are the forward returns of the main roof. The crosswings feature hip roofs. The central carriage arch is round-headed, adorned with boldly outbanded voussoirs and quoins, and has an impost aligned with a prominent string course that encircles the building. This string course also incorporates the flat-arch heads of windows located beneath the half-pediments. Above the entrance arch, just above the keystone, is another string course that merges with the cornices of the half-pediments. Centered above this is a blank panel, and above the cornice of the top pediment, there are ten pigeonholes.
The building's fenestration has been significantly altered, but three circular windows and three 16-pane sash windows remain on the front, along with double casements above. The side elevations each feature four windows, with 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor and triple casements on the first floor. At the rear, there are five low-elliptical arcade arches supported by bold square imposts that align with the string course. The rear ends of the crosswings contain two-storey blind arches.
