Stable Court at Kilvrough Manor

Stable Court at Kilvrough Manor comprises a courtyard arrangement with wings extending to the south, east, and west sides, and a wall and gateway on the north side facing the main drive. The north wall is constructed of rubble stone, with the ends and centre swept upwards to form square, hammer-dressed gate piers. The courtyard wings are two-storey structures, built of rubble stone with partial rendering and whitewashing, and generally have hipped slate roofs, although the southwest wing has gabled roofs. The west wing incorporates added skylights.

The south wing, facing the courtyard, features a passage on the right-hand side and a boarded shutter covering a segmental-headed window in the centre. An open lean-to is situated on the left side. The upper storey of the south wing has a four-light window to the right of centre, and an inserted window to the left, featuring brick jambs and covered with corrugated plastic.

The west wing has a twelve-pane hornless sash window under a segmental head on the right, with a boarded door and overlight leading to a passage running along the front of the service wing situated to the left. To the left of this passage is a former carriage doorway, now with a door and window inserted below the original wide lintel. At the left end of the west wing is a tall, wide round-headed opening now filled with a boarded door and a boarded-over window. The upper storey of the west wing includes a two-light casement window to the centre, with a thin sill, and an inserted wide two-light window to its left.

The east wing has a boarded door and overlight to the right of centre, a cross window to its right, and two replaced windows to its left. A similar replaced window is situated in the upper right-hand corner. A central upper-storey window, now boarded up with a stone sill, is visible on the north end wall of the east wing. The west end wall of the west wing contains two original round-headed openings in the upper storey, featuring replaced windows. The east wall of the east wing has three blocked round-headed windows in the upper storey alongside a small casement window lower down on the right.

The south side of the south wing faces an upper yard with an attached rubble stone wall on the right side. An open projection with a corrugated plastic roof is attached to this wall, containing a fixed-pane window and boarded door on the south wing’s side, with a wide boarded door and window, both replaced, at the centre, and a passage at the left end. The south gable end of the west wing is set back from the south wing and features an attached courtyard wall.

The west wing incorporates a king-post roof. The roof structure of the remaining wings was not inspected.
