Description

The Old Stable Block at Llanover Park is a ruin built in the Elizabethan Tudor style. The front is constructed from yellow ashlar, possibly Ham Hill limestone, while the rear wall facing the stable yard is made of local red sandstone. The building is almost entirely unroofed and consists of a main single depth range with a show front facing the house drive, and single storey buildings in the internal courtyard that are now mostly gone.

The main elevation features a central turreted gateway flanked by single storey ranges. The gateway has a 4-centred arch with a 2-light mullioned window above it, topped by a clock. The flanking turrets have panelled bases and taper as they rise, ending in ogee pepper-pot caps that are crowned by large metal weather-vanes. On the left side of the flanking wall, there is a mullion-and-transom window, while the right side has lost its dressings. The lower walls beyond these are largely destroyed.

The rear elevation within the courtyard shows the coach-house on the left and twin stable doors on the right, both with a damaged window above and two smaller openings over the arch. There are remains of the return wing to the left of the coach-house. The interiors of the building are now gone.
