Description
Purpose-built stables of an unusually architectural kind. A single-storey, U-plan building, with a tall symmetrical front, constructed in brightly coloured brick, with a slate roof. The projecting wings have distinctive facades with semicircular pediments and circular windows. The wings are linked across the centre by the screen wall, with balustraded parapet, that closes the small courtyard. There are voussoirs to the central segmental carriage arch. The courtyard has glazed brickwork to the lower part of wall and a similar band above. The NW corner has a stock brick water tower, square to the base and polygonal above with Venetian type window, terracotta hoodmoulds, and a weathervane to top. Internally, the stables have a coved ceiling and blue, cream and brown glazed tiling to walls and retain 3 fine stalls with ornate ironwork stanchions and acorn finials.
